Photo Detective Roadshow
Maureen Taylor really loves family photographs. All of them - from the mystery images you find in shoeboxes and albums to the pictures you snap with your digital devices. No mystery is too small. A simple question about an image can lead to new stories about your ancestors.
If you don’t know who’s in a photo, don’t worry. Maureen has proven methods for putting names to the faces in those pictures, telling you more about when they were taken, who took them, and why. As a former curator at a historical society, she knows how to make sense of photographs and family history. Maureen’s skills live at the junction of history, genealogy and photography.
Maureen has been a frequent keynote speaker on photo identification, photograph preservation, and family history at historical and genealogical societies, museums, conferences, libraries, and other organizations across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
She’s the author of several books and hundreds of articles. We are happy to welcome her back to speak about our submitted photos!
Everyone is welcome to join the meeting, but photo submissions to Maureen is limited to members only!
