In what decade was this taken?

“I’m trying to approximate the decade of this photo.”

Oregon State Library – Dating Old Photos

Mark your calendar, on July 9th I have been asked to talk at the Oregon State Library  about “Dating an Old Photo”. A few years ago I spoke on the same subject to this group and we had a bunch of fun. The participants are encouraged to bring their own older photos which the group and I will review for details about the date of the photo, age of the subject, clothing, socio-economic status and any specific details we can glean. I think they allow guests, but give them a call.

Best to call about reservations – Limited seating!

July 9th, Oregon State Library, Room 103, 11:00-12:00
