Photographs are important elements in our family’s history. The Flickr Photo Archive is a great way to save and share your family photos. It’s also a photo-based social network displaying photos from around the world. The Flickr Commons is where museums, archives and libraries have posted photos that are accessible to everyone. Thanks to Flickr users, there are many albums containing a broad range of photos. Cemeteries are a favorite topic for many Flickr photographers.
A series of guides to help you make the most of Flickr’s many resources are available at no cost. A good place to begin is to download the Flickr Photo Archive – Getting Started guide. You will find all the Flickr guides at the Storytellers Studio on Tumblr.
