Family Pictures and Picture Master Files

Family pictures can be viewed by browsing the Picture Gallery. The gallery shows a set of thumbnails which when clicked show the full-sized picture. The gallery is designed for easy viewing on the Web so the image is not as good as the picture's master file. To save a picture, download it from the master file.

The picture file name may give the names or a description of the picture, or may just be an index or time-stamp if the picture contents are unknown or uncertain.

The master files for each picture are usually too big for easy viewing  ( 1.5 to 10 Mega bytes). The master files are contained in the Master sub-directory for each set of pictures. The Master sub-directories can be reached through the Picture Gallery or the Picture File List. The files are typically large, so look at the file size in the list before deciding whether to display or download.

Notes:

• Most pictures have been scanned from an original paper image at a resolution that preserves the maximum detail available in each source.
• Tintypes are scanned at very high resolution because their detail is very great even though the evenness of emulsion may be irregular.
