One of the most special things about photographs is that they freeze a moment in time—a split second that happened that we will never get back. They can transport us to the past and give us a glimpse into a time when we were decades younger or even before we were born.

Photography plays an important role in preserving our family history and legacy and keeping memories alive. Without photos, we might never really know what our parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents looked like when they were younger. Or what everyday life was like for people living 50, 100, or more years ago.

There’s an online community dedicated to sharing photos, scanned documents, articles, and personal anecdotes from the past. It has more than 1.5 million members and an endless archive of beautiful and fascinating content that conjures up all sorts of warm, fuzzy, nostalgic feelings. We've picked our personal favorites. Keep scrolling and enjoy a trip back in time through a series of real-life images shared by members of The Way We Were. Don't miss the interesting chat Bored Panda had with Clémence Scouten, a personal historian and founder of Memoirs & More, about why family history matters. We also spoke to Julie Kessler, the owner of Picture This Organized, for advice on how to preserve and organize old family photographs.

    Clémence Scouten is a personal historian. She’s an expert when it comes to preserving family histories and legacies. As the founder of Memoirs And More, she has a wealth of experience in viewing, selecting, and organizing old photos and using them to tell a captivating story of how people once were—and are. Scouten is a firm believer in the power of photos.

    “Photos are a great way to enter family history, like a window into history,” she told Bored Panda when we reached out to her. “We can see before we read. So even a small child can see pictures in an album or book and start to associate that with their family. Once that child gets older, they can read about the family and learn the details a photo can't convey.”

    Photos are visual examples of our lives, and they tell the stories of our heritage, says Julie Kessler. She's the owner of a company called Picture This Organized. And spends endless hours helping families "organize their life treasures so they can share their life stories."

    Scouten says that while it's important to preserve family history, not everyone wants to. And that's okay. "There's a lot of trauma some people want to leave behind, and we never want to force people to talk about that or be confronted with it," she explained.

    Old family photographs can be particularly triggering. Looking at old photos reminds us of who we (and others) once were. “Someone might realize how very young they had been when they experienced a transformative event,” notes Psychology Today. “They might suddenly understand how vulnerable and innocent they had been.”

    These reminders could trigger positive or negative emotions. They could change someone’s understanding of how their past played a part in who they are today. They could increase or decrease feelings of anger, guilt, or resentment. Photos—and the feelings associated with viewing them—could even prompt us to forgive. Or sometimes, fall in love all over again.

    "There are many benefits to preserving our family history and knowing about other family members' successes and failures," Scouten told Bored Panda. "It helps us understand we are part of a structure (love it or hate it!) and that what we experience was probably experienced by someone relatively close to us. It is literally good for us."

    Experts agree that looking at certain old photographs can be good for our mental health. According to Psychology Today, viewing images “associated with specific positive autobiographical memories increased positive mood and helped repair negative mood induced by a sad film clip.”

    I find this extra endearing as those "funny" pictures are not that common. Around 1900, the times when a having a photo taken was expensive and a tedious hour long task were long gone, but somehow People still mostly thought of it being a "serious" occasion.

    Scouten says we can get a lot of information from an old photo. "For people who enjoy research, photos give us many clues to when the photo was taken. Clothing fashions and background info (buildings, cars, etc.) can help place the photo in a timeframe and a place," revealed Scouten.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "The material the original photo was made out of tells us when it was printed (from metal plates in the 1800s to "calotypes" which are paper negatives to glass plates in the mid-1880s and so on)."

    "Pay attention to details such as the photography studio, dates on the border, and information written on the back of the photo. These can help identify the person, timeline, and location," adds Kessler when we ask her what to look out for when viewing old photos.

    Kessler warns that old photographs should always be handled with care. "These items are often fragile, and it's especially important to use gloves when reviewing them," she said.

    When it comes to organizing your old photos, Kessler suggests filing them by family. "Physical prints won't have the same detailed information as digital photos will. So you don't know the day, year, or time unless someone has that information elsewhere. So we find it's easier to organize by the family vs date taken," she explained.

    "Then, within the family, you can identify people and organize them chronologically. Most often, the volume of photos from older collections is significantly lower than that of digital ones. So, photos of your great grandfather as a child will likely be minimal."

    Kessler says you should then store the content in an archive-safe box and use index cards or archive-safe folders to identify who is in that container or grouping.

    Scouten says while she loves photographs, there are many other things that reveal how we were once upon a time. "My favorite is correspondence and diaries," she told Bored Panda. "People tell their stories, and the reader can learn not just what was going on but how the writer FELT about it."

    She explains that while photos, especially formal portraits, capture how a person wants to look, correspondence or diaries often offer a much more intimate window into the subject's personality.

    "In those old photos, no one smiles! But letters/diaries usually tell what's really going on as well as the mundane details of everyday life: chores, school, travel, work, and family, which you can't get from a photo."

    Old photos can also help jog our memory. Sometimes, we don’t remember things exactly as they were. But, a photograph can correct the inaccurate details of how a person, animal, place, or object looked or even how an incident felt. If you've ever looked at a photograph and felt instantly transported back to that moment, you know exactly what we mean.

    Scouten says working on your family history is bound to bring back many memories of people and times past, adding that this is something that should be embraced. She suggests taking the opportunity to reach out to a relative you haven't spoken to in a while to reminisce about a shared experience in your family history.

    The expert says many of her clients are surprised by how differently they and someone else remember the same event. And how a conversation can trigger even more memories.

Two turrets and six heavy guns from the ship were removed, along with a substantial amount of shells from the undamaged stern magazines. They also worked alongside heavy 'hard hat' divers (guys in big metal helmets) to help remove smaller secondary guns which were used to help with the repair and refit of some of the other vessels which were raised.
