Just putting aside important items from your past, like photographs and documents, into one large box that can be easily found is better than letting your history stay lost in the attic or slip away all together.

Doing so not only helps protect these items from loss or damage, it also highlights the fact that, though you may not have realized it, you have already started working on your biography. Every keepsake or photo, letter or document, model, souvenir, card, article, magazine, or ticket stub was saved because, in the context of your life, it feels like an important artifact. Your biography is thus already off to a good start. All you have to do is mold it into a coherent story.

BoehmGroup has developed a FREE Biography Planning Guide that both individuals and organizations can use to determine which subjects you want to discuss, the materials you want to include, and what type of project best suits your needs when you create a biography.

We also have a FREE Preservation Guide (PDF format) to help you preserve your photographs and documents for the future.

Telling your story and preserving your history are always exciting and enriching. We encourage you to take steps now to begin recording your history, even if you take just the first step in a gradual process.
