Well, you have been there, done that. Basement is the only place I have to keep them, but do a lot of zip backups on the pc and those stay on the foyer table in case of an emergency. Full zips are in my husband's office. Family pictures and paper work are safe on the 2nd floor - unless there is a fire. Old tin types in the safe deposit box and most of the original stuff ie Bibles, 1850 autograph books etc are now at ECU. Have made great progress in the past six months on imputting a lot of the information in the database - at least can close the 4 filing drawers. The database is duplicated at Heritage Place but have to put the new softwear on next trip down and update. One of those projects would like to see expanded with everyone's database at some point. Received the Bright information today. Will get to it as have time. Don't think Britt and Bright are the same.
