How do you organize your albums of actual printed photos? I am going through all of mine right now and labeling the spine and front of each one (with a labeler). I am listing the years and also the key events in each one. I just had to dig through all 20+ of them to find photos to submit for Mused so I figured while I had them all out I might as well be useful!

I'm also writing down IN the books where we were in general, like "Washington DC" for the set of photos that were taken there.

I'm not going so far as labeling every single person yet ... but really I should ...

Lisa,

Labeling each photo with name of the person and date is the most important thing you can do. My mother went through her photos and put them into albums and dated the spine as you have done. Some of my oldest albums are in good shape. As a kid, I loved to put scrapbooks together and label them. However, as years went by I used different types of storage. Now, my photos are poorly stored and identified. With digital, I wonder how I will ever put thousands of photos together.

I agree with you completely Angie. Right now I have all the albums labeled with their dates and topics so that was the start. Now my next task is to go through the three albums of my mom's that I have and figuring out with her who the people in those are. I figure that's a high priority because if something happens to her, nobody is going to know who is in any of those pictures. So I am diligently scanning in each unknown photo in those albums, emailing them to her and asking her for names!
