A Google search on “family succession planning” brought up “family business succession planning”. Oh for Pete’s sake! That’s not what I was after at all. When […]

Oh for Pete’s Sake, or oh for Family Keepsake

Family Mementos, photos, documents, and prized possessions. Over 3000 items ready to scanned.

Grouping Systems – Love’m

Internal and External Documents
With only six months to live Dad started jotting on the backs of photos, tagging notes to articles he’d published and putting prized paper keepsakes in envelopes with a note on the front. He didn’t have a family classification scheme and for months after his death I’d come across keepsake […]

Envelopes, Parents, Notes and Document Keepsakes

Classification systems do they last?
