Save it for Later

I was looking on the web for more info on saving family history for our future generations.  And I ran across a part of the Library of Congress web site that was completely dedicated to family history preservation.  I can’t tell you how pleased I was.  In the past, I have gone to the LOC site looking for info and what I found was more for the professional archivist, very technical.  This information seems very user-friendly, but be warned, it is complete….. not just for photographs and digital images but also for sound recordings, video, websites, and email.

There is also a downloadable eBook that covers quite a bit.  The link is about halfway down on the main site.

Here is a video from the site that can get you started
