RYEDALE Family History Group have organised a Zoom talk on Wednesday, January 20 at 7.30pm.

The speaker is Stephen Gill who is a photographer and teacher of photography and has been awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. The talk is called ‘The History of Family Photography’ - and how you can use details within a photograph to tell its' story.

Stephen said, “My talk is a brief and entertaining look at the history of photography from the 1840’s to today; looking at the people, the processes involved and how it affected our lives.”

Andie Cattle said, “We all have an interest in family photographs, as it is a valuable resource for researching your family history, and they can give us great insights into what our ancestors looked like, what they did in their spare time and more recently where they enjoyed holidays and days out. Stephen’s talk is going to be fascinating and informative, lasting about an hour with the opportunity to ask questions at the end.”

The meeting is open to members and non members and if anyone would like to join please email members@ryedalefamilyhistory.org.uk
