Groups

A group (of photographs) is a collection (or grouping) of related photographs that share some common element or trait. The photographs in a group may have been acquired from a dealer as one bundle, and therefore may be of related persons or friends. A group can also be created by a member like you to contain photographs from a specific branch of your family. A group is therefore useful to help preserve contextual information about photograph relationships making the discovery of photographs of related persons much more probable.

Member's Groups

You may browse from all public groups listed in the left pane, and when you select one, its contents will appear here in the Group Viewer. For members who are logged in, your own groups (if you have created any) will be listed right above this instruction as well as a button to create a new group. The same list of a member's groups also appears toward the bottom of your member profile.

Notes about Group Numbers

A group is assigned and identified by a 5-digit number (for example, group 10038) which then becomes the first part of the name of any photograph uploaded into the group. Each photograph uploaded into a group is assigned and identified by a 3 to 4-digit number (for example, photograph 104) which, when combined with the group number, creates a photograph's full name (for example, 10038-104).
