5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice! Easy to read, understand, and implement!

"Preserve Your Family Pictures: How to Save Photo Heirlooms for Future Generations" is written in an easy to read, easy to understand way. The author covered the important steps not just for preserving and saving your photographs from the elements, but also making certain that they are identified so the next generation will choose to preserve them as well. For those who have stored their photographs in magnetic albums, the author discusses how to remove them from the magnetic albums, and the options for safe storage, where to store them, and why digitizing your collection is a good idea. She gave tips on storing, restoring, and enhancing the digitized photographs. I volunteer at a library digitizing books and documents and we have also been instructed to save a master copy in TIFF format, but at a higher resolution than the 300 dpi suggested here, but it does result in a much larger file.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful and, at times, daring approach to a common challenge.

A very helpful guide for managing what so many of us have in storage, old family photos. I am 55 and have stacks of plastic drawers full of my family photos. My youngest "child" is 26 now. When I pull out the pics, my heart strings are tugged.

Amber offers up not just the pragmatic "how to deal with stuck together photos" but also makes helpful suggestions regarding a reasonable daily regime of working through what would otherwise be a daunting, if not overwhelming project.

I live in the tropics which are notoriously toxic to photos. So I am looking more to the digital archiving option more than the storage of the physical photos. The book is not super-thorough with regards to the digital option, hence my 4 stars.

A word about the "daring" aspect of the book - I would not have come up with some of the "how to un-stick, stuck photos" ideas. And frankly I've not tried them yet. I'm assuming they work, but it takes a gutsy approach to submerge heirloom photos in water.

Overall, an excellent book that should probably be read by everyone.

Great for people like me who are challenged when it comes to doing anything pertaining my pictures. “Preserve Your Family Pictures: How To Save Photos Heirlooms for Future Generations” by Amber Richards will, in a very comprehensive, easy to follow fashion teach you all of the techniques needed to properly preserve your physical and digital pictures.

In short, I have lost pictures in the past, wither it be to travel or improper care, they have been damaged and simply lost. Lately I have been taking more pictures. To name a few, my daughters graduation, birthdays, and of course my two little that are constantly boys growing up have been my focal point of capturing those special, unforgettable moments in time. Frankly these are the memories that should be passed down generations long after I am gone. That’s what is amazing about this guide. It has helped me preserve my dearest memories so that my children and their children can appreciate at them all the more when I am gone. I highly recommend it to all.

There's not one thing left out of this how-to guide for photo preservation. Step by step instructions for those of us who need it. Best of all....a section on recovering damaged photos. Excellent go-to reference book.

Ce n'est pas un livre mais un fascicule très très fin ! Il y a beaucoup de blabla et au final peu de conseils pour le numérique. On peut trouver cela sur des blogs !

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2016

This can hardly be called a book. It is the size of a large pamphlet and has very little helpful information. It is very basic, and I've obtained more information from websites than from this book. It is also full of grammatical errors. Very disappointing for the price. I would not recommend it unless you are clueless.
