These are absolutely fantastic – and fascinating. They tell such stories don’t they (and some contain real sadness too, especially the 15 day old baby). Thanks very much for sharing them.

What a wonderful box and such lovely photos. My mother has all of our family stuff, but I did get some copies made a few years ago and put them up on the wall. I tried to include one pic of each of the important people in mine and my husbands families, back to great grandparents. I’ll twitpic it so you can see.

Amazing, my mom dedicated herself to finding as much about our family history as she could when both surviving grandmas fell prey to alzheimer’s. It’s a great record to our families. x

wow what a fantastic box of treasues to be left. I love going to my Grandads and looking through all of our family photographs.

With the birth of digital technology I no longer print as many photos, I may stat doing so again, I do not want our family histry to be lost to technology.

brilliant collection of memories. I am sure Lily loves looking at them!!

I have a room dedicated to preserving all my family treasures. Everyone sends me the documents: birth records, death, and marriage. photos, war medals and trinkets. I have an archive box for each person.
I have scanned most of the items….. but they keep coming in.

I love to do it, I just need to find the next family member to pass it on to:)

Wow, what a brilliant thing to have and to pass on. Makes me feels better about hanging on to random items now thinking how they will be viewed a couple of generations down the line.

Was wondering if you could laminate them but then I guess that would ruin the effect somewhat.

What a wonderful box of memories. How interesting to see family documents from so long ago. It’s amazing the things we take for granted these days. Thanks for sharing.

This is gorgeous. I have a similar box and a similar folder with scanned stuff on my machine. I even have a site set up where my sister and I claim we are trying to get the archives all online, but it’s been on pause for way too long. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to it!
