There will be a workshop and talk by Roy Measday on Digital Photography
for Family Historians at Bethel Chapel Schoolroom, Beaufort, Ebbw Vale
on Thursday 28th April 2005, start at 7pm. Everyone welcome, members and
visitors to Ebbw Vale Branch of Gwent Family History Society.
We will have a few laptops and scanners to input your photos using
Photoshop. Members have been asked to bring along their damaged photos
and Roy will give advice on repair. Roy, who is Chairman of Glamorgan
FHS, has other tips such as photographing Monumental Inscriptions which
he has used to great effect on Glamorgan FHS publications.
Modern day societies have benefited from digital photography. I for one
have had a great deal of success filming Parish Registers and Newspaper
articles and other documents as well as community archive photographs.
best regards
Barrie Jones, Secretary of Ebbw Vale Branch of Gwent FHS and Chairman of
Ebbw Vale and district Community Archives Group.
