Heritage Pages – Or What to Do with all that Research

August 5, 2012 by Jill Holman


I was getting bored with computer charts and I wanted to create something fun to share, sort of an electronic scrapbook that doesn’t damage any original records or photos. I went searching for early Iowa images online and put these together using Pages on a Mac.

A Few Tips

  • Search for early maps for your place – there are a lot of great old maps online (if Google isn’t working try Cyndislist.com)
  • Brainstorm keywords that apply eg. in this case: frontier iowa, covered wagon, log cabin, prairie
  • Crop the images with a graphics program such as my new favorite: Pixelmator
  • If something isn’t in a good format for your program, take a screenshot (command-shift-3) and then you can crop the screenshot
