AS I get older, I really do think about what to do with my many many years of genealogy books, pictures, etc. I do have a genealogy room with a computer in it. Hopefully, my daughters would not go to the extent that Charlene did but, one never knows. They just wouldn't know what to do with it all. No one seems interestd enough in it to even look at the history of thier ancestors. I've thought about donating it all to UWF ( like Dicey Boman did ). However, they have probably got so many genealogies that they don't have room for any more. Anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks LL Scott for the reminder. Doris B.
If your genealogy pertains to West Florida, then I would donate to UWF Special Collections. For non-locals think about a repositor in the prime area for your families. When our BEAR Family newsletter disbanded we sent our materials to one of the regional librarians in Ohio, it seemed that most of the families passed through that particular area. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doris Buffum" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 8:29 AM Subject: [FL-WFGS] Charlene > AS I get older, I really do think about what to do with my many many years > of genealogy books, pictures, etc. > I do have a genealogy room with a computer in it. > Hopefully, my daughters would not go to the extent that Charlene did but, > one never knows.
