What to
Preserve?

Individuals
Letters, photos, diaries, flyers, programs, tapes, & other unpublished materials that we collect throughout our lives uniquely document our individual experiences & our family history. They are part of the collective memory of
our communities.

Organizations
The records generated on a daily basis by an organization contain its memory and provide testimony of its achievements.
