The albums were created by the founder of the Fieg Family Newsletter, V. P. Fieg. He wanted to be sure these treasured images and other documents were preserved and, since this was way before anyone ever even dreamed of something like Shutterfly, affixing the actual photos to construction paper, punching holes and putting them into a notebook was the most cutting-edge method of preservation available.
You can see the faces from the past that look like the faces of today, use it as a great resource for a school project or just take a walk down Memory Lane.
Our thanks go to Don and brother John Roman for their dedication in scanning the 300+ pages and transferring them to the cloud-based storage site for our enjoyment, and the pleasure of future Fieg generations!
If you need one, create an account with Shutterfly. This is a free service, though photos can be ordered and printed from the website at a competitive price. Better yet, they can be downloaded to your computer for free. Once the home page pops up, click on the 2016-03-20 link.
After some brief experimentation, your editor found that, to see the photos at full-screen size, you need to click on "slideshow," then click the pause button (two vertical bars in the circle) and last click on "full screen" at the top right. You can scroll through the pictures at your own pace using the arrows to the right and left of the photo.
Many pages have multiple pictures on them When they are downloaded to your computer they are saved as jpg files which are easily edited, cropped and saved individually.
Here is the link to view all the pages of these tomes. Enjoy a blast from the past!
