Library of Congress Photos on Flickr

Filed under: Technology, family history books — neal @ 9:16 pm

Great news from Flickr and the Library of Congress. They are offering 3,000 public domain photos to the web as creative commons. This means that most of these photos can be added to books or websites without copyright restrictions. MemoryPress currently allows you to add your own photos from Flickr. Who’d like to add photos from this historical collection? While anyone can download the photos from Flickr or the Library of Congress website and then upload them to their MemoryPress account, it would be possible to make them available inside your MemoryPress account so that you can drop them right into your book. What do you all think? Who would use this service?

Filed under: MemoryPress General, family history books — jeffreyharmon @ 8:44 am

Today we finally added another book to the MemoryPress home page.

self-publish your family history

We hope that we will soon win out the keyword family history publishing” in searches on Google, Yahoo, Live, and Ask. This is the new URL: http://memorypress.familylearn.com/family-history-publishing

We will be adding more types of books as time moves on. We have been considering a page for each of the following:

  • wedding anniversary
  • family recipe book (I was thinking this recipe book could have the story behind your family recipes. It could be like family history built around recipes. Every family recipe links to a story that is a part of your family history.)
  • mother
  • father
  • retirement
  • tribute
  • pet
  • custom

If you have a suggestion of what kinds of books you would like, please comment below. We need your feedback.
