@genealogy I have recently inherited thousands of old family photos. I want to scan and then share these with my siblings and other relatives. Any advice for a good, easy tool/app/site to share the photos?

Sorry can't resist: create #WikiTree profiles and attach the photos to them. Flickr might also be an idea.

@richsandler @genealogy I also recommend Google Photos or if you are on Facebook, you might want to consider creating a private family group page.

@richsandler @genealogy I inherited my mother’s photo collection, I created a siblings Google account and I am progressively uploading them to Google photos.

Hey Rich, another thought:

These images form a tapestry of your shared family history.
To respect that, think like a museum and separate the archive and access functions from curation and storytelling.

Google, Apple, or similar site is fine to archive and share access. Ponga builds on that to give you and your siblings a private space where you can sort through the faces and names, and tell stories of your shared past.

(See Ponga.com/scan too 😉.)
