Part of my papers to declutter was an archives box full of nine ring binders, one for each subject that I completed while working through my Diploma of Family History, which I finished in August 2017. I had thought I would scan various information and exercises to keep, however instead I have reduced it to three ring binders with dividers.
In addition I had already saved some data digitally and kept each of my assignments as well as the creative writing exercises. One of the ladies in my family history group made a beautiful photobook to display and keep her work and added photos to the various assignments. I made an attempt to also do this, however I do not have many photos that would sit with my assignments.
Instead, I prepared a Word document compiling each subject and the various work and added a few photos that I had. The final pages show a photo of my Diploma and the program from graduation as well as a photo of the Brisbane group. I was able to upload this document to Officeworks site and they printed and bound it for me for approximately $50.
It is now a memento to keep and refer to when I wish.
