Photo Detectives: Identify the Era Through Clothing Cues

March 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Are you researching your family’s history and having trouble dating your inherited photos?

📅 Ages: Adults
📌 Wasaga Beach Public Library card required for registration.

A picture can be worth a thousand words, as the saying goes. Join us with guest speaker Judith, who will share her knowledge of fashion and clothing styles through the decades.

She will help to reveal some of the mysteries and stories to be told in old photos based on visual cues around clothing. Learn about clothing styles and trends through the decades, military dress, and accessories worn, such as hats and jewelry you may see in your photographic treasures.

Learn some detective skills to assist in dating your photos to narrow in on a photo’s era. Judith will focus her presentation on the late 1800s to WW1. Feel free to bring a photo of interest you’d like to learn more about and Judith will try her best to unravel the mysteries within by revealing what she sees.

About the speaker:

Judith is a local retiree with a background in museum archives and a specialization in the collection management of textiles. She is a historical interpreter and volunteer with the Collingwood Museum.
