Look for the photographers imprimatur on the back of the photograph or stamped on the bottom. Consider the hair and clothing of the person or people in the photograph. Womens fashions changed from year to year and what a person wore to be photographed can provide valuable clues for dating the year the image was made.

Can photos be dated?

To avoid any security/hacking risk to your precious images, you need an option that embeds date and time stamps as soon as you take the photos with your Android device. Since Androids camera app doesnt usually offer a date and time stamp option, you will need to download a third-party app.

How can I find out when a photo was taken?

Check for a photographers name or mark. Look at the back of the photograph or even at the bottom of the front. Is the photographers name or a photographers (or studio) mark present? If so, research into the photographer and when worked as a photographer can help narrow down the date the photograph was taken.
