Creating a family scrapbook is
a wonderful way to display and preserve your priceless photographs, keepsakes
and recollections of past experiences. It is an illustrated way to memorialize your family’s history by
creating a precious and enduring testimonial for future generations to
cherish.
Getting Started
Family
photographs are typically the spirit of any scrapbook. Photographs
of your great-grand parents joining in wedlock, your grandmother baking
cookies, or perhaps a favorite holiday celebration. To start, you should
collect as many photographs as you can. They can be photographs of people,
places and things. It’s fun to see
vestiges of the time periods in which your ancestors lived.
Add Items that Represent Important
Life Events: like
marriages, birth certificates, baptisms etc. Other great additions would be
family recipes, old love letters, locks of baby hair and the like.You can also photograph larger items, such as
clothing, furniture, jewelry, and quilts and place the pictures into your
scrapbook. Memorabilia pockets, which are acid-free and archival safe, can be
used to display your smaller sized keepsakes.
