     I haven't had much free time to create any blogposts over the past year or so.  I've been busy working on a major project for a client who delivered 36 boxes from his mother's attic!  The boxes contained thousands of photos, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, documents and other treasures that had previously belonged to his parents and grandparents on both his mother and father's sides.  A treasure trove for sure!

Phase 1 of this project included cataloging each and every item in the collection and sorting the items by person.  At the same time, I used the information contained in those items to build the client's family tree, which has now grown nine generations back!

Phase 2, which is underway now, involves scanning every item and then preserving the originals worth keeping and organizing the digital files to distribute to all family members.  It has been a fabulous project, perfect for my skill set and one that will provide this family with priceless memories to pass on to future generations.  Here's an example of a short video I created for one of the family members from their box of photos.  Click on the caption/link below the image to view the video.
