What would you do with fifteen years of Farm Sides? And, alas, this is not the whole pile. Back in the day I used to keep track of them and file them by year in order and all so there is a half a drawer full of filed ones too.
I really want to keep them.......
And I am missing a good few.....
If you've got the time, a scanner and the software to do so: scan them, convert to pdf files, and burn them to a CD.
ReplyDeleteI would be so proud too and I wouldn't get rid of them either!
ReplyDeleteI think you should put them all together into a book that magnificently documents a way of life that's growing all too rare.

ReplyDeleteI 'second' all of above advice.
Make sure - what ever you do - that there are copies in different places/homes.
After this year's tornados and wildfires . . you never know.
I know we all echo Woodswalker's comment.
Well...you could browse through them and pick some to do a "that was then, this is now" type of comparison article. Or a "Remember when...?" article.
ReplyDeleteAnd what joated said is important. Time is valuable, so you could pay a responsible person to scan these for you.
What joated said. Most Kinko's & FedEx stores have scanners large enough to do the job.
ReplyDeleteKeep them someday when I'm telling my future daughter about the grandma she's named for i'm gonna want them to show her :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get rid f them. Your Grandchildren will be very proud of you and want to read each one.

Thank you all so much for your good ideas and kind words. So far I just dumped them back in the drawer, whence they emerged when the boss at the paper wanted me to find certain titles for him.....but I really need to get them organized!
