A menu for first-class passengers on Titanic, that was discovered in a photo album, has sold for over $100,000 at auction.

Photos of Nazis partying and relaxing as thousands of people died at nearby death camps have inspired a new play.

In a bid to lure a few more of your friends onto Amazon Prime, the Seattle-based retail giant just announced a new feature called "Family Vault." If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can now share the unlimited photo storage you get through Prime Photos with 5 non-Prime friends, free of charge!

It was only a matter of time. Following hot on the heels of the rebirth of the digital photo frame is the Joy Album: the family album redesigned for the digital age and the self-styled "world's first interactive photo album."

Photographers are always telling each other to print their photos, but at the same time, services keep springing up that let you do the exact opposite: digitize your prints. Photomyne is one of these services, a feature-rich smartphone app that lets you turn your old prints into digital files faster than anything else out there.

Photography has always served as a way to preserve family memories; now, Shutterfly wants to make them easy to turn into travel albums.

Anyone can easily convert their collection of digital photos into beautiful travel books in just a few minutes.

Wedding photographer James Day tells us that he recently pulled off the "craziest stunt" of his career thus far: delivering the final wedding album to the newlywed couple at the end of their wedding day.

Much as it pains me to encourage anyone to destroy a book, if you have a second copy of something or an old book you know you'll never flip through again, this neat little Photo Album DIY from Photojojo is worth putting on your crafts to-do list.

Everybody takes photos of their family, trying their best to keep a chronicle of their children as they grow up. They capture moments both mundane and momentous and store them away in what later becomes the family album (although it seems that might soon be a thing of the past).

But while everybody might make an effort to capture these memories, photographer Alain Laboile does so with an expertise behind the lens that has turned his own personal family album, a series called La Famille, into a heartwarming viral sensation.

This tattered old photo album containing a fascinating collection of some 1,500 mugshots taken over one hundred years was recently sold by the Swann Galleries auction house in New York for $10,000.

Young people love to take selfies and don't really care about printing photos and putting them in albums. That might not be the biggest shocker of the year, but a new British survey at least puts some numbers to this amateur photography trend that's leaving us with a lot fewer prints and a lot more digital clutter.

Facebook today announced a new shared photo albums feature that allows multiple users to contribute photographs to a single album. This makes it easy to aggregate memories from events that were captured by different photographers. It also likely dampens the prospects of the countless collaborative album startups that are vying for a piece of the photo sharing pie.

Social photo sharing, especially where location services are involved, is tricky. As we saw with the Color app debacle, privacy concerns rule all and no amount of pre-release hype and funding can overcome those. Still, as TechCrunch columnist MG Siegler said on his blog, "a killer social photo album service" should exist, and Albumatic is making a bid for that designation.

Benedict XVI officially resigned yesterday after eight years as the Pope of the Catholic Church. The Vatican decided to commemorate his papacy by publishing a digital photo album to its website. It's a serious set of photos that marks a serious occasion, but it's attracting attention for the wrong reason: most sites that are reporting on it seem to be focusing on the font selections rather than the images themselves.

The text in the album is Comic Sans and the watermarks on the photos are Papyrus.

Earlier this week the New York Times was lent a mysterious photo album that contained 214 photos of Nazi Germany, including images taken just feet away from Hitler.
