<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 7477619, member: 13430"]Most of my collecting is related to family history research. I've shared a fair amount on genealogical sites, especially FamilySearch.org so it's available to distant family. I also post some in occasional blog posts, and have shared some old photos on this site. For old family photos that are related more to place than to people, I've provided hi-res digital copies to various historical societies and local historians that were interested. </p><p>I'm at the age now where I'm starting to arrange for original stuff to be donated to organizations that have more than a passing interest. For example, I have a handwritten memoir/diary of a distant cousin that was born in the 1760's in Virginia, that the Virginia Historical Society would like to add to their collection. A large amount of old photos and family ephemera I've collected from my wife's family is going to be donated to the library at the University founded by her ggg-grandfather.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
