Organizing Thousands of Photos: From Chaos to Order
Organizing Thousands of Photos: From Chaos to Order
So you have thousands of photos that you don’t know what to do with? You’re not alone. My camera roll alone had 38,000 photos, and I’ve found myself sorting through boxes of photos left behind by my grandmother.

This is no small task, but the results are worth it. I am the family’s historian, so I have not only 40+ years of my own physical and digital photos, but also everything from my parents’ era (slides, negatives, prints) and even family photos going back to the late 1800s. Even thought I had scanned many of the photos some years back, after retiring I spent A FULL YEAR labeling and organizing my digital photo library. It really paid off. I created a naming convention that helps me find photos quickly with the built-in search feature on the Mac. Looking for a picture of my great grandfather? Got it in seconds!
