Maureen A. Taylor, "The Photo Detective", will present a series of lectures on collecting, preserving and understanding photographs.
If you have family photographs, you won’t want to miss the first visit to Canada of the woman The Wall Street Journal has called “the nation’s foremost historical photo detective”. Maureen A. Taylor investigates photos the way private eyes investigate cases. Even better, she’s also a family historian!
First as a photo curator and editor and now as a writer and consultant, Maureen has established herself internationally as an expert at the intersection of history, genealogy and photography. She has been featured in top media outlets, including The View, Martha Stewart Living and The Today Show. Maureen is the author of a number of books and magazine articles, as well as a contributing editor at the U.S. Family Tree Magazine
Maureen also enjoys teaching children about their roots and authored a guide to family history for kids, Through the Eyes of Your Ancestors (Houghton Mifflin, 1999).
Her latest project is The Last Muster: Images of the Revolutionary War Generation (Kent State University Press, June 2010).
In four lectures at Conference 2010 on Saturday and Sunday, Maureen will give us the essentials of building and preserving our family photo collections, as well as strategies for identifying, dating and extracting every shred of genealogical information from our photos.
