My deepest thanks to our two special guests for taking over today’s Live program. This allowed me to spend time with my family and celebrate a very special occasion. I’m deeply grateful to these two wonderful friends and their commitment to this Projectkin mission in keeping the programs running. You’re pretty amazing. 🥹
I’ll keep these notes short since I’m still trying to catch up. First, you won’t want to miss the Zoom registration for Thursday’s special, Kathy’s Corner with Maureen Taylor. Maureen’s the Photo Detective, of course, and one of the best experts out there for analyzing, understanding, and working with old family photos. She’ll join Kathy, one of the best-known photo organizers across the Americas.
Their planned topic had been working with metadata, yet a disaster hit Maureen’s collection. We’ll dip into one of Kathy’s lines of expertise: recovering damaged originals. Check out last month’s episode in case you missed it!
Special Guest: Lori Olson White
Joining Kathy today was our very special member, Lori Olson White whom many of you know for her publications, The Lost and Found Storybox and Culinary History is Family History. Here’s where the conversations get fun — and creative.
Deep in that conversation was not only the topic of postcards, but also a reference to this fabulous documentary, Death and the Civil War from the American Experience series on PBS:
As Projectkin, we’re here to help families tell their stories, in any form. I feel strongly that our collections of photos and other artifacts are key to our memories and, in turn, our stories.
All of our programs are free through the generous support of our patrons. Learn more at Projectkin.org/about and join us!
We’ll see you on Thursday! Till then, 👋
