I will state the obvious, he did not need to do that, he knew all those people and places.
We tend to think our work is so valuable today. Except for pros who hoped to make more money from the images over the years, photos used to be purely personal things. Usually the best you can hope for is that they will be in albums with little notes added, like "Paul and Jane 1942", I do not know that I have ever seen any more than that. Even pros usually were way behind on their filing an captioning. Here in the Appalachian Mountains there are a few people who go around with audio recorders interviewing old people trying to document a long gone lifestyle. I would think that would be the way to do old photos, spend the time with the photographer recording their stories about the photos. Too late to do that with your uncle...
