Thomas Balch Library to Host “Digitizing Family Photos 101”
Leesburg, VA (February 19, 2020) – Gina McNeely, a volunteer at Thomas Balch Library, will
lead a class on digitizing family photos on Thursday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
McNeely has been a picture researcher and photo editor since 1995. In 2007, she established
Gina McNeely Picture Research to assist clients in finding and licensing compelling photos and
footage for media projects.
Her close proximity to the vast public domain collections at Washington, D.C.’s National
Archives and the Library of Congress enable her to provide clients with quick, high-quality, and
publication-ready digital imagery, often with no licensing fees.
McNeeley will share helpful information on scanning your family photographs during this free
two hour event. It will be held in the lower level meeting room of the Thomas Balch Library. For
more information, call 703-737-7195.
