Kay Strickland Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:17:50 +0000 http://www.geneabloggers.com/?p=9582#comment-6750 I have the joy to have in hand a LOT of primary sources: ledger books, photos, letters, maps. I have begun discussing with my daughter where they are stored and my desires for their continued safe keeping. The only nightmare worse than not getting to finish my family stories is the thought that all of these collected records will be thrown out at the curb!

Though all the people in my family that this directly affected are no longer living – it’s not a situation I was prepared to encounter or care to have to explain to anyone. Generations later, it’s still a slap in the face.

I am just so shocked as he has always been an avid reader and library user BUT his point is that so much money could be saved by not dedicating physical locations etc when we could all be carrying around our own personal libraries in a lightweight digital format. I do get his point, but I LOVE to curl up with a good book.

I can deal with internet-crazies, but if I can’t get vital records…well, that’s definitely a buzzkill.
