I'm hoping to donate old photos to the museum conservation dept of my local uni. They took my mom's wedding dress & old hand-knitted items. Students will use them to practice conservation & restoration techniques. Hoping also that maybe some local orgs, incl. local historical societies, will want photos of local attractions from different eras. Disposing of this stuff is a job! (I just inventoried 500+ family slides from 1960s, only ~1K to go...)

It's always tricky working through old family stuff. Just been looking at a folder with these sorts of old photo pages in, not sure where from, heck knows if of use to anyone - whole bunch of St Andrews, some of Fountains Abbey, and then a scattering of European places.

I'm looking forward to Australia's (hopefully) upcoming orphan works scheme, so that I can legally (I think) upload letters like this one written by E.J. Ryan in 1898. They'll (likely) still not be acceptable by #WikimediaCommons (which wants 190 years of grace after the date of creation), but at least they can go elsewhere without worry. Maybe. I'm not a lawyer.

One thing I love about digitising old documents is that they can add to other people's research jigsaws. It makes it feel worthwhile, and like the records of the past don't only belong to one institution or family or whatever (despite what various laws of ownership might say). It's about doing things together.
