But, really, is there any value in the originals? (I don't mean monetary...) My work has been in transcribing them- to extract the stories and details of their daily lives compared to my own- Then to get a few clean photos of some of them- as you say, for the handwriting etc... On a limited income, the archival boxes are expensive, and take up space- My nieces and nephews are taking over the planning of where the digital archive should be stored and how it should be shared.... I'm not trying to be anonymous here- just not interested in any more google sign-ins!
