Bringing the "Back" of a Photo into the Digital World

"FotoTagger brings the backside of a photo to the digital world. With paper photography, notes could be written on the back, so they were always stored and shared with the picture. When digital photography came along, the back side went as a remnant of the past. The FotoTagger goal is to revive the back side, but with a completely new quality that adds a new value to family photos."

FotoTagger: Preserving the Past Note by Note

"Documenting the lives of our ancestors, as well as our own lives, is the mission of every family historian. Photography, especially digital photography, opens new opportunities for connecting to ancestors and passing genealogical information onto future generations...

...However, identifying the people in the pictures and providing background information is only half of the problem. You have to record this information in a way that lets you transfer the family photos together with identification data to your descendants. Recording this information ensures that your descendants will not have to face the same challenge that you experienced.

This is where FotoTagger, a free software tool developed by Cogitum LC, can help. Foto- Tagger enables to you to “tag” your photos with location-specific annotation labels that point to people or other elements..."

FotoTagger allows other people to understand a photo better and at a deeper level

"Being able to place information tags directly on your travel photos is pretty cool, since it really allows other people to understand a photo better and at a deeper level.

Since Fototagger is deskstop based, you have to download and install the program. The interface is fairly straightforward, and I was able to annotate a photo quickly and export it as an external webpage. The help menu is readily available should I have hit any problems."
