Rather than ordering prints, we had the Puget Sound Regional Archives email us digital copies of our house photos. We then had the option of printing the photos in various sizes. We ended up framing an 8 x 10 to hang in the living room, & we had smaller sizes made for inclusion in a photo album.

The archives sent the photos to us in .tif format. There was a photo taken in 1937 & another taken in 1952. File size for each was approximately 2 MB.

We also visited the archives in person, as the article mentions. That was very interesting & worthwhile, because they have quite a few general photos of different Seattle neighborhoods & landmarks. We live near Camp Long & found that some of the general photos of Camp Long had views of our house in the background.
