Inspired by the work of Kristen Cleage, who blogs about her family history at Finding Eliza, here is a collage of images from my own responses to Sepia Saturday blog prompts since 2013.


Sepia Saturday prompts started in 2009, aiming to provide bloggers with
… an opportunity to share their history through the medium of
photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don’t have
to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history,
local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images.
In December 2019 Sepia Saturday reached a milestone of 500 prompts.

Sepia Saturday 500 Prompt Image
My first post inspired by Sepia Saturday, in August 2013, was about my
grandfather’s cousin John Champion de Crespigny (1908 – 1995). It was my 27th blog post.
I continue to read the blogs of the community who post in the Sepia Saturday group. I am always interested to see how fellow bloggers interpret the prompt photo and I have found the prompts have indeed inspired me to explore my family history.
I am very pleased that I came across the Sepia Saturday blogging community. Thank you to Alan Burnett, Kat Mortensen, and Marilyn Brindley for prompting writing about family and social history with inspirational photographs.
