This is always a tricky dilemma and applied with photos/statements taken
at school.In the absence of overall permission from each participant, one
option, though time consuming, is to obscure any means of clear
recognition eg face easily identifiable, so that the photo can still be
used.If it involves stories in which others are named, anonomisation (ugh,
sounds American made-up!) can be used. This is time consuming but
effective. It may of course ruin the flow of some rib-tickling yarn to
have "Smiffy" et al replaced by "person A, person B" . It would of course
only need to be done if there is a real possibility of the actual person
being able to be identified from the context. There is still a slight risk
with the judgement call on the last point and I guess the standard would
be more stringent depending on the sensitivity of the story! This all
seems pretty basic to me and will probably already have been considered by
the sender of the email, but it may be helpful.
It may be worth contacting the Cinema and Photo museum in Bradford because
they will doubtless have experience of rescuing long held photos,
particularly of groups eg class photos belonging to institutions and may
have some more constructive ideas on how to proceed.Hope this may be of
some help. I would be interested to learn of any other advice/suggestions

We'll be able to ask for consent when an individual provides information about themselves but I anticipate the stories/images including other people. Assuming we can identify and have contact details for the other people involved is the only way we can do this by asking each person?
