How to Archive Family Keepsakes is featured in the newest Genealogy Gems Podcast, Episode 144, as Lisa Louise Cooke and I chat about the challenges of organizing family history photos and documents, genealogy research, and digital files.
I love talking with Lisa about genealogy and family history. Like me, Lisa inherited treasures from from her own family and her husband’s family, too, and likes to use these special items for family history projects and genealogy research. Creating a home family archive can make it easier to locate photos for a quick photo project or find documents for a family tree; one trick is maintaining a good inventory list.
Lisa and I also talked about using digitization to help preserve family artifacts, and how to move towards a paperless genealogy office when we’re dealing with mountains of our own research papers. And yes, you can make real progress toward reducing paper in only seven steps!
Tune in to the Episode 144 of the Genealogy Gems Podcast for tips and strategies from my new book, How to Archive Family Keepsakes, and ideas for digitizing, organizing and archiving your own family treasures.
