For Yolanda and others,

Below is a link to an article (and other links) with expert guidance
on increasing the longevity of documents, and proper preservation of
valuable and often irreplaceable family history photographs and papers.

...and for preservation, storage, handling and display materials and
supplies you may want to visit http://webyfl.com

As an aside, almost without exception, the thousands of people who lost
their homes to the recent fires that ravaged some of our areas in Southern
California mourned as their "heaviest loses" the destruction of family
records and keepsakes.

Let's all learn how to keep our family records safe for our own sakes, and
that of our posterity !
