Who has your childhood photos?

[Grabaspoon]

Just wondering who keeps the photos of the years gone by - are they yours because they are photos of you? or are they your parent's because they are there memories etc

They were my parents of course, the person in the photo doesn't have "rights" to them, what a bizarre thought. my parents did divide many of them up though, and my sister scanned the better ones into a computer so we could all have a copy.
If my dad wanted to hang on to them all it really wouldn't worry me though.

My parents have them, I presume they will come to me eventually.
Mum's given me quite a few over the years - so I can compare what I looked like to the DC. But mostly she has them in albums and she likes looking through them. I can see them any time I visit.

My estranged parents - unless they have binned them.

my parents have most of them. i have select few in an album i started myself as a child. only about 20 pics though. my dcs love looking at them.

As my mum and dad are both dead I have most of the pics, they each had some from my childhood
I've scanned a lot to share with my sister, also older photos to email cousins/ family pictures from things like weddings and parties

I plan to scan pictures of my children so they have a copy each if they want.

These days its so much easier to get copies of photos by scanning them onto a pc, if you have the technology.

One thing I fond really helpful was the back of photos to be dated and a mention of who and where

My mum has some, but when my dad left he took loads with him.

Unfortunley he died 2yrs ago and my stepmother has destroyed them even though it was the only thing we asked for.

I do, as my mum died and my dad gave me all her photo's including her own mothers photos and letters and diary's.

My mum has them and in time, they will pass to me.

I have mine, as both parents are dead. I also have my grandparents' entire photo collections and scrapbooks they made of their many travels - they take up way too much shelf space and are never looked at, but they have to stay. I've told DD she can bin them when I'm gone :o.

I have one album as i like to compare myself to the dcs. Also there are some of my mum and dad together when they were younger and as they are divorced now don't think my mum wanted to hang onto them. Think there are a couple of other albums plus loose photos that my mum still has. My dad has a handle of loose snaps I think.

my mam has mine, we have DH's. when his parents moved from the family home, 3 months after we got married, they decided they didn't have room for any of DH's stuff so we got all the photos and the rest went in the bin!!

My parents have them, but I have scanned loads of them in to preserve them- my Mum is awful for having sweeping clear outs which she then regrets!

This has just made me remember that when my mum and dad split up my dad had some photos. He asked me if I wanted them all. He didn't want any of me and DB as children :(
I don't think he has any pics of us in the house now. Not even graduation photos.
Plenty of step siblings though...
My mum has the rest though proudly displayed so hopefully that makes up for it...
