    3. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: New Orleans and museum collections - what have we learned ? Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2005 01:02:26 -0700 From: To: 'Bill Hecht' <wsh6@cornell.edu>, NYFingerLakes-L@rootsweb.com Bill http://content.lib.washington.edu/communitymuseum/resources.html Here is a great set of resources for those interested in digitizing documents, pictures and the like. Our community initiated this project over a year ago...now there are about 6-8,000 images scanned (many are slides associated with the NPS in the region), but it's a start. Imagine if you could do that with your own pictures and documents? Disasters can be huge in scope like Katrina, or small in scope like have a house fire or having a vehicle stolen with a research binder in it. These latter two happened to me, and it was the digitization of records that survived the former that allowed me to recreate the latter. Great issue Bill, now, the question is - how many folks will do something about it at their local level. xxx xxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Bill Hecht [mailto:wsh6@cornell.edu] Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 11:43 AM To: NYFingerLakes-L@rootsweb.com Subject: New Orleans and museum collections - what have we learned ? I wonder how many museums in small towns and cities and thousands of individuals now wish they had, at the very least, a digital copy of their family memories and museum collections. I am sure tens of thousand of items have been lost forever. Does your local museum have backup copies of at least some of their imprtant documents and items.? At least a XEROX copy? How many have an inventory? Of items. Of documents. ______________________________

    1. RE: [Norton AntiSpam] [NYCENTRAL] New Orleans and museum collections - what have we learned ?
    2. Geoff Brown, Between the Lakes Group

    3. Good point. Far too many small museums, and historical societies don't have an accurate inventory. Churches are terrible offenders in this regard. While you would think that libraries would have the catalog discipline down pat, I suspect that many local libraries with archives, etc. do not have even a list of their materials that aren't part of their normal "library collection". And individuals, sadly, are almost universally even worse off. With modern scanners, digital copies are not all that difficult or time-consuming to make, except of the most delicate artifacts. Given the capacity of DVDs, a single disk can hold huge amounts of digitized images and occupy virtually no space in a safe deposit box, for instance. If how to go about the inventory or digitization process is a stumbling block to getting it done, I recommend the American Association for State and Local History as a superb source for methodology. They were founded around the turn of the 19th century by the American Historical Association, which is the preeminent scholarly organization in the field of American History, and they do a great job. Their website is at www.aaslh.org. It still takes self-discipline to do the cataloging and copying, but it helps if you know if you are headed in the right direction. Sincerely, Geoff Brown www.betweenthelakes.com

They added a couple of dates I didn't have. 1. 15 February, Ft. Dodge, Iowa Miss Helen TATE and Lindsey Ewen THOMPSON I knew they must have been married in Iowa, but didn't know when or exactly when. I have Erven for Lindsey's middle name. That came from his SS-5. Helen TATE was the daughter of Charles TATE and Carrie DEAN and the granddaughter of Robert TATE and Helena "Helen" VANOMMEN (my gg-grandaunt). 2. 12 October, Groton, NY Miss Sarah R. BEACH and Lionel F. EVANS. While Sara isn't related to me, she is a cousin to some of my cousins. Her parents were Abel Irving BEACH and Lillian J. JOHNSON. Her paternal grandparents were Ezra BEACH and Sarah HILL. Sarah HILL's oldest brother Ambrose Barcroft HILL was married to my gg-grandaunt Sarah Rebecca HART. And their youngest sister Loverna HILL was married first to Edwin F. HART, son of my gg-granduncle Charles David HART and his wife Catharine BUTTS. Bill Hart
