Save or Throw? What stays, what goes?
Sunday, August 10, 2008

MM 130: Save or Throw? What stays, what goes?Kristin's back from vacation and the summer is almost over! The kids will be back in school before we know it. This week we're joined by Archivist Alison, a professional archivist who provides great advice on how to clear out last year's precious memories to make room for all the new stuff to come. Alison also advises us on how to preserve photos for the long term and explains why being a hoarder or a purger is perfectly OK.

    I am a purger but I have saved every piece of artwork my children have ever made from preschool starting at 18 months to now (ages 7 & 5).

    I hope to photograph them all one day and throw the originals away so I can just look at them on my digital picture frame. :)
