In addition to finding some good, common-sense thoughts on preservation and keeping the work you did moving on where others who wish it will be able to find it, you have also included a sample address from a city and state that's near and dear to me, though I've never visited it myself. It's the city that my paternal grandfather was raised in. <BR/><BR/>Are you from Jasper, AL?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-21442901396476718472008-01-17T01:00:00.000-07:002008-01-17T01:00:00.000-07:00Thank you for the reminder.

The library would possibly be interested in having them after you passed away if your descendants did not want them and the research would be of benefit to the thousands of people that go to the library each day.Our Future Rooted in Our Pasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634318932715354443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-22079913568513987272008-01-16T05:23:00.000-07:002008-01-16T05:23:00.000-07:00Thanks for this post - Sounds like a good idea.Thanks for this post - Sounds like a good idea.Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-30500738175403560362008-01-14T11:29:00.000-07:002008-01-14T11:29:00.000-07:00Great post!

Also, your will should direct your executor to agree to reimburse the accepting library or archive for their costs in accessioning the records, plus a few thousand extra dollars to go towards the library or archive's expenses for the records' long term preservation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
