Thank you for these articles on how to protect our family artifacts. I am relatively a new member to Ancestry.Com, and I am sure others who are new to genealogy appreciate the tips on how to take care of the items from our families past. Thank you again.

A bible was given by his mother to my husband’s great-great grandfather when he emigrated to the U.S. in the 1870’s. The bible survived weeks of immersion in Hurricane Katrina floodwaters in New Orleans because it was stored in a totally unarchival manner. A team of volunteers gutting a house found it stored in a ziplock plastic bag.

I loved the picture on the main page of the Hollinger Company of the founder smoking a cigarette while handling (supposedly) archival papers!
