<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3818156, member: 33"]This discussion is interesting to me for another reason. A friend of mine inherited a 19th-century CDV album that belonged to his paternal grandmother. Many of the people in it are identified, and I'm currently trying to figure out for him which ones are related and which are friends or colleagues. The photos are all identified with handwritten captions, although some of the photos of the grandmother's close relatives were removed years before my friend got the album. Anyway, my friend also has tried to get advice from people as to what he can do with the album. I gather that he doesn't think any of his relatives will want it, but I'll ask about that. He is wondering about donating it to some historical society, or some other institution. Reading the posts in this discussion is interesting and will help in how I advise him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
