Instructor Julianne Hoppen began digitizing her mom’s photos in the late 1990s, which expanded to those of her siblings & cousins, aunts & uncles.

This led to Julianne’s aunt passing on a box of genealogy records & photos of her family’s grandparents. Since then, she has digitized photos, negatives, slides, Hi-8 tapes, and older home movies here at Fort Walla Walla Museum.
