Event image for Cambridge Room Lecture Series: Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Your Family Photos: Identifying African American Family Photos

Join us for a workshop presented by Maureen Taylor, an internationally recognized expert on historic photograph identification and family history research, as we delve into the history of African American family portraits.  Photo clues can be obvious or subtle from who’s in the picture to what’s being worn and who took the picture. We’ll explore the 5 basic questions to ask about your photos and how to figure out the story in the image.  This interactive lecture will help you discover identity and connections to your family that you never knew you had.
