Scan them and send digital copies to relatives. Some folks post them on social media for friends and family.

Peter is right, some one in your family may know who they are.

This happened to me. One of my distant cousins had several photos from the 1920s, and she had no idea who they were. Another relative of mine ( who is in her 80s) saw them, and recognized her mother within the photos. Her mother died when she was a teen, and these were photos she had never seen before. After who knows how many decades, they were finally identified!

They are right. And it is sad that we all have pictures with someone that is not identified. It is not just a picture or history, These photographs are life. they are our lives. I am guilty  of not identifying everyone on the photographs that I have. Good luck and I hope you find out who everyone  is.
