Remember that Texas was losing HeritageQuest and a Medical database? Interestingly, the patrons and librarians raised the money to save access to HeritageQuest. This teaches me that if the government takes their hands out of things, people will find a way to pay what is important to them. It also shows me that there is more demand for genealogy records than medical records. Finally, libraries aren’t a bad way to go to diseminate information and fund it.

“Scrapbooks are a wonderful way to keep track of our history,” Black says, “so down the road we are not just names on pedigree charts, but personalities.”
“I’ve always liked looking through family scrapbooks, looking back on old pictures,” Janke says. “I like preserving the moment. The journaling is very important to me, too. This way, we can pass on to the next generation what our life was like. It’s a historical document of our life.”
