How to Organize Thousands of Family Photos
I am in charge of my family's entire archive. The entirety of the prints are literally in the thousands. Some of them are just loose, some of them are in magnetic albums, and some are in non archival boxes.
Currently, I am struggling with figuring out the best way to file and make a labeling system. I will be using a copy stand and a DSLR camera to digitize every item that I have.
This is what I am trying to figure out: I would like to keep an entire album of photos together and not have them mixed up. However, some of the photos are as small as a quarter while some are as big as a piece of paper (American units of measure I know lol). Anyway, what is the best way of properly marking where every photo came from as well as a way to digitally label every file?
I will be using archival standard boxes for everything. I've only had very little experience with creating a labeling system. My end goal is to be able to see the print digitally and then be able to go to it exactly.
Thank you!
