I did mine by family. Since I was doing four different lines the descendants of each line would have interest only in their side of the family. So that seemed logical to me. I include family albums for each line on each family CD. I record the date, location and any other info with each picture.
I wasn't lucky enough to get many pics but was able to get some historic pictures from various family members. Getting family to sent pictures, I found, was one of the hardest things to do.

How do you do it. I realize that everyone will have their way but that’s the best way? By year By location By family MY grandmother traveled the world -- by being a Navy wife. So how does one classify her youth, her early adult, travel (Navy), middle years, senior years -- classifying the different photographs. Personal note: She has been thru four different wars: Would you have separate files for each war? WWI lost one husband 1921 The Japan-Indo-China War, was in china 1930-32 WWII ( Pearl Harbor) was in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941 -45 The Korean War connected as a writer for the 'Star and Stripes ' 1955-58 I’m trying to review my (complex numbering system) trying to simplify it before I start in earnestly scanning and labeling all the different photographs. 1.) I would identify the Family Line 2.) identify the individual within the family At this point is my question. Would you micro-manage the family/individual any further? Such as: A. Youth B. Early adulthood C. Locations lived D. Travels E. Middle years/marriage F. Senior years OR G. By year – the problem with by year you maybe miss identifying the photograph properly. I’m hoping others might have an answer that is easy!
