One Family's Digital Archiving Project was great
I found the One Family's Digital Archiving Project particularly interesting, both for the father's self-motivation to scan and to the son's willingness to rescan and reorganize for better future access.
The article's point about simple and clear directions to people archiving personal digital artifacts was very well taken.
