OK...I'm going through boxes and boxes of family pictures...from the mid 1800s to the present. I'm trying to organize them, and scanning many. Got to wondering, what will my grandchildren want to see 30 years hence? Will they only have access to internet photos, or will they appreciate a "book" of photos? Or maybe some time of internet "book"....your suggestions appreciated.
At the same time I'm also going through trunks with old clothing, tablecloths, silver, etc....taking pictures of some, trying to decide what to save, what to give away, etc.
I'm heading to Pilates, but look forward to returning and seeing your thoughts.
We had the same thing happen re our Irish line. Tragic. She had done so much work, and then threw it all away.
Wow, I recall some old 77 rpm phonograph records, but no Edison cylinder records.
They are cool, but they’re extremely fragile.

Yeah, the 78s are more common, probably cause they’re more solidly built. Some of ‘em are pretty thick. Had quite a few of those around the house, too, growing up.
Everybody left their records at home so there was a wide array of hand-me-down music to listen to, fun days!
My aunt gave me a cd of family images she scanned. She was very excited. Spent months on it.
Each was scanned at 72dpi roughly at 7”x5” and, apparently, she used a low-end scanner. Utterly useless for printing. Not really great for viewing either.
If a person doesnt know what they are doing they may end up wasting time.
