A Personal Records Project

Throughout the past few weeks I have been gathering information and pictures that I have put in a binder for my family. My goal is to have all of my important information in one place. For example, my sweetheart and I have pictures, marriage/birth certificates, important security documents, and information in there so that if something ever happened we would have everything in one place. The other goal I had with this binder was to include a personal history of my husband and I and our family. It's still a work in progress for sure, but I included journals I'm transcribing and pictures of extended family. I've also included accomplishments or awards that we've gotten. This way I have the best of both worlds in one nice binder. 

I want to continue this for as long as I can. As I was preparing this, I got excited about one day having the opportunity to add important documents and pictures of my children to this binder. I am going to continue to add to it and make it nicer, safer, and more accurate as time goes by. How convenient would it be for my descendants to have all of our information in one, nice binder? 

The document I created to show pictures of what I've included in the binder is too big to copy and paste, so I provided a link to a Google Drive document that you can download, if you wish. I hope it works for your computer. If not, I apologize. I tried to find some way to shorten it or something, but I decided that I put too much work into it, and I wanted to show it to others in its complete and full form.
