After reading this book, you can comfortably clean out your attic - or office, garage, basement, cupboards - with confidence that you're not tossing out historically valuable (or invaluable) things, and that you will not ask your local museum to take things that really belong in a thrift store, junk yard, or recycling center. This book includes a brief description of the basics for preserving materials the reader wants to keep and references sources for more detail. It also recognizes that the reader may not want to keep stuff that clearly has historical value. For those readers, the authors describe how to donate materials to a cultural repository. In broad strokes, they explain how repositories differ, what the repository will want to know about the stuff you're offering, where an appraiser and/or tax advisor fits into the process, and what the reader can expect the repository to do and not do. -- back cover. 500 $a Family histories. 650 0 $a Genealogy. 650 0 $a Photograph albums. 650 0 $a Photographs $x Conservation and restoration. 650 0 $a Scrapbooks. 650 0 $a Souvenirs (Keepsakes) 650 0 $a Diaries. 650 0 $a Collectors and collecting. 650 0 $a Collectibles. 700 1 $a Cockrell, Lucinda P. 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20190416011334.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20181219010735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C325EFEC035B11E9A08916FE96128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
