I've put all big photos in a single sleeve and bunched a few little photos into one sleeve according to occasion or person in the picture. Once I have them all scanned (admitted a long-term goal) I'll print out each one along with the story and put them in 3-ring binders by family. I hope! Thanks for reading and commenting.Marian B.

I am in the process of printing out my 2010 photos (digital camera) and it will end up taking 4 photo albums to fit them in. And that's just one year!! How do you decide which go in archival sleeves, etc.?Monica Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905975922475393289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-37493280931325522582011-04-13T15:59:45.070-04:002011-04-13T15:59:45.070-04:00Hi Bettyann!

I'm in the process of writing my Family Memoir, and I wonder if I'll get it finished before I do become an ancestor myself.

If only I had more space and a large fire-proof vault. :) You have some great goals. I've found recently that the only family photos with any written notes on them are people I recognize - all those that I don't know don't have any info.Dianne Reubyhttps://easterfamilygenealogy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-56284478643497038072011-04-13T08:32:28.873-04:002011-04-13T08:32:28.873-04:00Thanks so much, Mary!

This year I hope to move to your newer system by putting hard copy into binders.Marian B.
