Personal Archiving: Home

Personal archives include material of long term value to you.

They can be in many different formats (photos, word documents, pdfs, video, scrapbooks, and more). 

Preserving materials successfully takes a little time and thought.

Toss what you're sure don't want to keep and focus on what you DO want to keep.
