Introducing a brand new feature here on the Practical Archivist blog:
There’s plenty of interesting stuff out there on the intertubes. For this new feature, I will find ‘em, rope ‘em and serve ‘em up to you with little or no commentary. Quick n’ dirty. Ready? Here we go…
READ:
* Randy Seaver over at Genea Musings gives a wonderful real-world example of an often overlooked fact: Everything is NOT online. Read Randy’s Manuscript Collections post for details.
*Family Tree Magazine has a helpful thread about how to persuade relatives to share photos and other documents. Personally, I find it sad that people can be so stingy with family treasures…especially when copies are so easy to make.
VIEW:
* Trunks full of family history are discovered in the walls of a house during renovation. Read the happy reunion story and watch the heartwarming video here.
* And, last but not least, a aural-ocular video treat for my steampunk friends: Thomas Edison Hates Cats.

Thanks for stopping by, Larry. Your rock and roll history book looks supremely cool. If you ever want to write one on Otis Redding, drop me a line…
I invite you to poke around my family history blog at http://whenwordsmatter.typepad.com/passing_it_on. I try to keep it lively, interesting and on-topic.
