Projectkin LIVE Video Chat with Kathy Stone

It's great to see so many of you making these live programs part of your weekly routine. I find them both fun and a good way to focus my thoughts on my special guests each week. Though these sessions are only available to Projectkin subscribers, I make the recordings available to everyone on our website. You’re welcome to share them with friends or explore the full archive of these programs at Projectkin.org/live.Today, we welcomed my collaborator on the Projectkin Community Forum, Kathy Stone. Kathy brings her decades of experience as a professional photo organizer to the challenge of managing the original photos, documents, and other artifacts in our family history collections. This week’s program will explore the Who, What, and Where in your family photos. You can explore past episodes at Projectkin.org/kathys-corner.

Mentioned in today’s program… * The previous Kathy’s Corner episode Kathy mentioned in which we’d discussed photo organizing tools was this one: * Relevant news: MemoryWeb, a creative online tool for capturing stories in the metadata of photo files recently announced that they were taking the platform offline.
