Using a hair dryer may not yield the desired results and could cause further complications...again this depends on the glue used. If the photos are only glued around the edges and corners, you may be able to pull these edges up enough to slip a straight edge razor blade under and very very carefully separate the photo from the paper. The photos will have pieces of glue and the paper stuck to the back of it, but hopefully the names will be visible. At this point, I would advise having these pictures scanned and printed onto modern photo print paper. If the photos are glued completely to the pages, you may want to enlist the services of a professional conservator or you could ask at the local museum if they have anyone who is knowledgeable in this area of expertise.
