Hi, I’m Peter Andreae. When we cleaned out my dad Pierre’s house I volunteered to figure out something to do with the photo albums. He had the books that he and my mom Nancy had put together over the years.

I already had a few older albums at my house which I acquired when Marie-Claire moved out of her Walsh Road house years ago. At the time I thought she planned to throw away the books I didn’t take but they turned up when we cleaned out her apartment at Alexian Bros.

The photo albums stacked on the floor of my office, back when the pile was still tidy.

I have begun the process of making digital scans of the photos in the albums using some very nice equipment at the Knox County Public Library. I have tried to be selective, scanning only “significant” photos. I’m sure I will become more discerning as time goes on.

My vision is to build a website with photos organized by their original albums. I hope to record whatever captions are available in the books and to add more complete captions as well interesting facts about the people and places.
