How To Organize Your Memorabilia
We each have our own set of memories that bring us joy, peace, a feeling of love or sadness. Memorabilia are tangible objects that have memories associated with them. My memorabilia might look like junk to you, but the memories associated with each item brings me back to my childhood, my family or a special moment in time. Memorabilia can be photographs, letters, clothing, souvenirs, or any object that holds a memory for you.
If you’re overwhelmed by trying to find space to store every birthday card, concert ticket stub and newspaper clipping, it’s time to ask yourself what is really worth keeping and how can you best store and preserve your memories.
