What is photogenealogy?
Photogenealogy is the art and science of
caring for, enhancing and sharing
your family history photos,
and creating a treasured and valuable photo legacy.
Photogenealogy promotes the study and preservation of
family history through photographs.
It combines photography with genealogy to uncover stories,
identify ancestors, and gain insights into the lives of people in the past.
Photogenealogy is an emerging field that uses visual clues,
historical context, and modern techniques
to understand and connect with family heritage.
Photogenealogy is a unique and powerful tool
for enriching your family history research,
and adding depth and emotional connection to the stories of the past.
Photogenealogy seamlessly incorporates
best practices and industry standards
from other disciplines to secure
and make accessible family history photos.
Photogenealogy has four parts:
1. Secure
Gathering, digitising and backing-up.
2. Access
Adding name tags.
Parts 1 & 2 ensure family history photos are safe and can be
easily searched and quickly found.
3. Enhance

& sourcing more photos.
4. Share
Photo-sharing platforms, publishing, display, photo products & gifts
& legacy.
Parts 3 & 4 provide a project-based approach that makes what might appear to be a huge task into a manageable and enjoyable process that produces meaningful and treasured results.
