I am creating a spreadsheet of the 3D family heirlooms for which I am the caretaker, with any known info about provenance, associated stories, photographs of the item, and photographs of the people associated with the item. That way, future generations can enjoy all of the items even if they have only some of them in their own possession; and everyone knows what is a family heirloom vs. something I picked up at an estate sale, in the event something happens to me and all my "stuff" must be dealt with. I am in the process of archivally scanning and storing hundreds of old photos so I can both restore them and share them; continuing work on my genealogy; and digitizing hundreds of old cards, letters, documents, postcards, Bible pages, land records, estate records, vital records, etc. for both safekeeping and for sharing. I will need to create finding aids at some point for the various branches of my family, once I am at the point of getting everything online - and your article is great info!

I'm inspired to have another look at my own collection.Family Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.com
