Today it is the bad photographs on the social networking sites that may come back to haunt us and embarrass and intrigue our descendants (assuming of course these sites are still around) - but for relatives of the rich, famous and infamous, who knows what will surface.

A word of caution when looking through archives for family history information - you may never find all there is to find - especially if some of it is censored.

Archivists find nude photo of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amid Andy Warhol's stuff -- chicagotribune.com

Andy Warhol was never one to throw things away. When he died in 1987, his four-story Manhattan townhouse was packed with stuff: antiques, clothes, books and other artifacts. But that obsessive habit for collecting has turned out to be a boon for archivists who, hired by the Andy Warhol Foundation, recently began sifting through 610 cardboard boxes, filing cabinets and even a shipping container that once belonged to the famed pop artist. Among the oddities and treasures discovered: an autographed picture of a naked Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
