   Working to digitize those I have. However, the question does remain: what to do with those originals? There are some I would hate to destroy--such as a mission log my father hand wrote when flying bombing missions in WW2 and a few precious photos!

   Donna, I'm also struggling with the issue of what to do with the originals. I started putting them in zip loc bags and storing in plastic tubs...if there is any moisture, pictures can be damaged in the bags...even though the tubs protect them from moisture. I think I've settled on placing them in my steel file cabinet, which will protect from fire, but not water. When I'm sure the documents and pictures are completely dry... seal them in zip locs in the steel cabinet. Anyone think of problems that might create?

   I have inherited a VAST amount of "stuff" going back to the 1750s. Thankfully, the County Archives have agreed to take it all. Meanwhile... I am TRYING to scan what I can, AND OCR / transcribe what I can. and THEN post it. It's the tape recordings and particularly the 16mm films of Central Africa in the 1930s that are the big worry, for they won't take those.
   
   My uncle was a WWII bomber pilot. I discovered his flying log book on eBay AFTER it had been sold !

   Donna, one answer....Safety box or fireproof safe at home for those extra special pictures and documents. It's worth the expense for the irreplaceables, and bank safety boxes are climate controlled. Your valuables last longer.

   I agree with you Nizzy. All of my important documents or pictures that I would never want to lose are in a fireproof safe. It's certainly worth the expense if you have items you absolutely do not want to lose or ruin. And of course you can use it for anything else you may want to keep locked up and safe.
