Informação do Conhecimento Comum em inglês. Edite para a localizar na sua língua. Introduction The Role of This Book
Fourteen years ago, my husband and I bought and moved into our first house as a couple. I began unpackiing personal papers and heirlooms that had been boxed in apartments for years. They would have taken up too much space in our cramped quarters for me to permit their release from confinement, but our new home afforded us the room to settle in and unpack the things that represented our family memories. As I worked, I took time out to flip through long-neglected albums and began noticing problems with them. All of the causes for concern were common preservation issues I confront every day as an archivist: The images of my childhood in the 1970s were beginning to discolor. The glue on the "magnetic" pages on which the pictures were stuck, not intending to budge, was browning. I found that I needed professional skills in my personal life. Up until that time, I primarily thought of applying my archives background to collections within institutions. Afte this experience, I began thinking of all archives (records with long-term value) and personal memorablilia within anyone's possesion as mini "collections," requiring similar care to those materials housed in professional repositories. Chapter One: Your Story Personal Narrative
A narrative is a series of descriptions about connected events that form a story. Your personal narrative is the account of your life that includes details providing a well-rounded view of your personality and existence. This book focuses on archives as the foundation for your own personal tale. I aim to show you which documents reveal your individual narrative to reflect your unique and valuable presonal history. | |

Informação do Conhecimento Comum em inglês. Edite para a localizar na sua língua. We have a role in the future. What we create today can be what is left for interpretation if we take steps to safeguard and explain it. Our personal papers are part of the evidence about which Archibald speaks. My memories separate from your are not "representative or comprehensive," but together among other community papers, our memories can be both. When planning for the future, help leave behind tangible knowledge that will equip humanity to build a better society. "Creating and Maintaining Family Papers, Photographs, and Memorbilia" is not just a nice idea: It is a vital part of what keeps civilization moving ahead. Give our descendants the memories of all of our most informative successes, mistakes, and stories so that they may learn from them and grow. (Clique para mostrar.

I had two quibbles. First, I prefer to buy digital these days, since searching has become part of my life, but I understand why a professional archivist would be reluctant. Second, the formatting choice to include sidebars on every single page makes for choppy reading, which took me several chapters to stop being annoyed by.
And, based on my personal experience, I would strengthen the section on focusing on what communities you belong to or represent -- frankly, very few people beside you are interested in you, per se...future researchers are going to be interested in you as a woman who held a corporate job in 1925, or you as a man who helped settle Naples, FL, so be sure to reflect that in your archiving selections.
I'd recommend this to anyone interested in preserving their legacies for the future, and for people interested in helping other people preserve legacies, like genealogists and family history librarians. ( )
