Our Family Photograph Collection...
Since August 2008, our family has been gathering a collection of photographs for all to share. This collection is our attempt at preserving the images of our own family’s history. Each year at the family reunion, individuals and families bring their photos to be scanned or on computer disk to be added to the collection. Once the project has been completed, everyone will be able to have a digital copy of the photo collection.
Currently the collection contains approximately 1,950 photographs including a video from Reid Steinmetz’s memorial. The quality of the collected photos being stored are 300 dpi images. The photos found here on this web site are 72 dpi .jpg images and are referred to as “web quality” images (considered to be very low quality images). If you would like to share your family photos please bring them to the family reunion to be scanned and promptly returned to you.
Ink Reminder: Please do not label the photographs with ink. The ink will transfer to the image it is laying directing on and will destroy it. An index of the names of people in the photos will be established as the photos accumulate.
If you are unable to attend the reunion, please make arrangements with someone who will be attending the reunion or contact Janet Steinmetz directly to make arrangements for the proper handling of your photographs.
