#working horses

Peeps, if you’re at all interested in your family’s history (or even if you’re not, future generations might be): ask the people from your grandparents’ and your parents’ generation to go through family photos with you and label them. People’s names, and, ideally, their connections to family members.

This is probably even more important now that most people have switched over to digital photos. So much personal history is going to be lost within the next couple of generations if we don’t take steps to preserve it.

We have so many anonymous photos in our family, dating back to the earliest days of commercial photography. But we also have some gems, like this one in which somebody has written the names _of the horses_ on the back.
