I can't ignore it any more

These 4 tubs are full of family history. There's envelopes full of newspaper clippings, photos, film negatives and slides, and other assorted "treasures" from my own family, my parents and even grandparents. I'm slowly going through them, digitizing and sorting and trying to work up the courage to toss some of it in the trash. I've been putting it off but the pandemic has gone on so long that there's just no way I can use the excuse that I don't have time.
How wonderful to be able to go through so much family history. Time consuming but well worth it.

Maybe it would look less intimidating if you put it in b&w! Haha.
That's the hardest category to go through.

Good luck. So many trips down memory lane.

My gosh...such a job...I am sure you will find some treasures here .

I think the throwing away is the hardest part!

Wow, that's some work ahead of you.

That’ll keep you busy for a while!

Wow, what a treasure.

That takes a lot of effort for sure... I've got all my photos, negatives, slides, etc. from so many years and then there are a ton of boxes of enlarged prints... I worked at a photo lab for years so I have a lot of prints.

A very difficult job. I cleaned my grandmother's apartment and to this day I have nightmares about thrown away things.
August 15th, 2020  
Wow, such a big job but very satisfying I’m sure and it will be amazing history to pass down

Good luck, a lot of memories to work through

I would bring out one tub at the time so it's not so intimidating. I wish I had treasures like this. I left home (Germany) when I was 20. all I have from there are some pictures of when I was younger. the odd family picture and that's it.
