Saving Memories

Family

Back in the 1950’s Steve’s Dad took a lot of color slide photos. Some of them he printed up as black and white photos. Some of the best he protected with glass plates on either side. We’ve realized that the plates have been collecting dirt through the years both on the outside and on the inside. We’re planning on taking them to be professionally scanned but have to remove the glass plates first. This is in addition to the hundreds of print photos we have scanned recently (and the thousands that we have scanned in the past).  It’s all a part of our desire to make the electronic versions of all these images available to all members of the family.

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
