A simple archival guide for photographs and memories.
Record the village name, spelling variants, approximate date of the photograph and the direction or viewpoint when known.
Record dedication/name, denomination or jurisdiction for the period being documented, construction or rebuilding dates when known, and whether the structure survives.
If clergy, parishioners, wedding parties, choirs or processions appear, record names and the occasion whenever possible.
Do not discard photographs simply because a church has been altered, moved, repurposed or destroyed. A sequence of images can document the history of the building and its community.
Write down what the photograph or inscription actually shows first. Add later historical explanation as a separate editorial note with its source.
