How Do I Deal With Thousands of Photos?
My inclination is to dive right in like a kid at Christmas! But this isn’t practical for several reasons:
- I’m not sure how or where these were previously stored, and thus I don’t know the age or condition of most of them.
- I probably cannot identify many of then without family help.
- I still must eat and sleep.
Given those issues, I have to figure out some temporary storage and cataloging system.

An old adage comes to mind:
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time
While I envy you enormously for the treasure of photos and other materials you received, I don’t envy you the job of organizing all of that!
Wow Craig, You have every genealogists dream (and maybe nightmare?). Let us know how you accomplish this monumental task..
maybe I can apply your methods to what now seems like a paltry number of old photos!
