Once you have your comprehensive checklist that includes the locations of where your photos – both printed and digital – are stored and your inventory of home movies and audio tapes, its time to think about dating your collection.
Tip #5
Create a Timeline
A great way to determine the dates and even the locations of your photos and home movies is to create a timeline. Start with important events like birthdays, graduations, award ceremonies, weddings, moves, retirements, reunions, and celebrations of life. Enlist family members to help fill in dates and locations that might be missing on your timeline. Adding a timeline to your photo organizing checklist will be extremely helpful when it comes time to label and organize your collection.
