Old photos need context
A photo can be beautiful and still be confusing if no one knows when it was taken or who appears in it. A memorial album becomes more valuable when each image has a short caption, date, place, or family note.
Select with care
Choose photos that show different parts of the person's life: youth, work, family, celebrations, everyday scenes, and meaningful places. Avoid uploading many near-duplicate images. A thoughtful smaller album is easier to view.
Let relatives add what they know
If you are unsure about a date or person in the photo, ask older relatives. Their answers can turn a simple image into a family story that lasts longer than memory alone.
