The photographs are beautiful - what a wonderful collection of photographs about death and mourning. The articles are all excellent and on-point. I am partial to Penelope Dreadful - I love how Denise takes a photograph and writes a story around it.
By far the most useful article for researchers is Caroline Pointer's column about finding and using family records. Printing a specific article is difficult - you can choose up to two pages at a time.
footnoteMaven has submitted the Shades of the Departed Magazine to the Digital Magazine Award judges for consideration. I vote YES!!!!!!
Coming from the guy who can't post a photo without telling its story, your comments are special praise. Thank you.
