Remembering a photo with missing data from the Whisler collection
A historic photo of well dressed children in the Saddleback Valley prompts questions about who they were and when it was taken. Archivists tentatively place the scene at El Toro or Trabuco Grammar School between the 1890s and the 1920s, noting hats, twin sisters, and similar outfits. The piece urges labeling memories with names dates and events for future generations.
