Your Story Is important... Old letters, diaries, and photographs of the past; Items from individuals, businesses, and organizations in the community; Old farm tools, household items, and childhood mementoes help to bring to life the unique stories from the past. Items like these collected and saved by you and pasted down by your ancestors hold a sentimental value that tells the story of who you are. For that reason some of these items may be worthy of being saved for future generations to learn from. Whether or not members of your family attained some degree of fame or fortune, or struggled to survive personal and everyday items from the past contributed to the heritage of place and time. When you donate items and material to an archives or museum, your story and the story of your family will help countless others gain an appreciation of past events and the people who lived through them. |
