A half-day course with Jayne Shrimpton.

Saturday 10 October 2009, 2pm – 5pm

Jayne will discuss the significance of old photographs to the family historian, their value as a historical source, and different approaches to analysing and dating old photographs such as fashion clues. Most of the time spent on this workshop will be spent analysing photographs of the attendees.

You are welcome to bring photographs (please, no more than 2-3) on the day, but you can also email or send a copy of photographs (address provided upon booking) in order for the lecturer to prepare for a more in-depth analysis. Questions and comments during the workshop are welcome!   learning from photo
