Kathy's Corner at ProjectkinKathy's Corner » End of Year Wrap-up and Preview for 2025 » Dec. 2024As a professional archivist and photo organizer, Kathy Stone always brings a unique perspective to family history storytelling. She came to Projectkin as a committed scrapbooker with a visual eye for storytelling — an essential skill when uncovering the narratives hidden within photos. As you can see in the transcript, we started by discussing the photo as an artifact in its many potential formats, from celluloid negative or slide to print on paper, glass, or metal. When making digital copies, you respect the original artifacts while creating new forms that might capture stories or provide context to others' st...

As the Projectkin Community Forum, we’re on a campaign to get families to share their stories. Big or small, family stories are important to capture and preserve for future generations, adding our stories to those we’ve inherited from generations before us. Your stories may only be contained in artifacts with little context or identifications, or they might be published in a written narrative arc. As y...

This could be important for you, too. Let me explain. As consumers, we’re often lured into platforms whose business models require us to compromise our privacy. Advertising models famously have this as the core exchange. For my family archive, I deci...

Unlike Members’ Corner stories, these aren’t the stories but about the projects that will lead to the stories. As family historians and genealogists, we continuously collect facts, artifacts, and recollections about our ancestors' experiences and lives. Putting these materials into structured archives allows us—and our descendants—to explore and retrieve the stories. Today, our three speakers...
