... this is posted today. I hope that's not where our scrapbooks end up
Three full scrapbooks were being tossed by relatives of a late elderly
friend. Contents include personal correspondence still in stamped
envelopes, & misc. materials, brochures, articles, etc. from her
teenage & young adult years, 1930's - 40's (some older). May be of
interest philatelically &/or historically (Topeka, Kansas).

Very sad. When a friend of mine bought her new house the closet was full of wedding pictures and scrapbooks. The couple had recently got divorced and didn't want ANY of it. I understand not wanting.....but I would keep it around for history sake too..and maybe the kids would want to have pictures of their parents from the past.

That is going to be one heavy coffin.
I can't believe someone is going to just throw away those scrapbooks. I hope mine don't end up in the dumpster.

That IS sad.
I hope my kids and grandkids at least appreciate what our scrapbooks mean, even if they don't scrap themselves. What a shame!

There very well could be money in those scrapbooks with the old stuff. I know at other sites I see a lot of kits (personal and commercial use) where somebody has gone to a flea market, bought really old stuff, scanned it in and then extracted it.

Ya, i would think of all the hard work put into them, when I pass them onto my children they honor them more than to just ditch them like that. Aww... so sad.

It is sad to think how you put your heart and soul into your books and maybe family will not care.
I hope their will be famil who come after me who will wish to keep a bit of family history alive in my hard work and love.
