If you’re like most 21st-century photo hounds, your computer’s hard drive is packed to capacity and your basement is filled with yellowing photo albums and boxes of old family snapshots. It’s the modern-day dilemma of a camera-loving culture.

But the photos – especially the ones that have been passed down to you from your parents and grandparents – are an important part of your family history. They each carry with them a story – a story of people, places, and moments.

Most families have been taking and collecting photographs for the past 100 years or so. But with the arrival of digital technology, we’re really on a roll now! The number of photos that our great-grandparents may have taken over the course of a lifetime, we stockpile in a year. Many of us don’t even bother developing our pictures any more, let alone taking the time to properly label them.

So how do we get a handle on this ever-growing photographic chronology of our lives – and the lives of those we hold dear?

Thankfully, technology has come to the rescue.

Fairly inexpensive software packages are available to help you get a grip on your photo collection. From photo editing and sharing tools to advanced labeling and organizational features, it’s amazing what some of these products can do!

Here are a couple of links worth checking out:
