Bonita: Just a word of caution here. I worked on a project last year (in
my local society)where we undertook to save the life's work of one of our
deceased members. Her husband paid for the job, but nothing like what it
actually cost. To organize and prepare a collection for the microfilming
took five of us, and hundreds of hours. And I'm not exaggerating! Then the
microfilming itself is not cheap. What I'm suggesting, is that even if
your Will makes such a provision, it may well not happen. If you are
interested in saving what you have worked so hard to accumulate, you had
better get it in book form--- that can easily be microfilmed and
preserved. AND LABEL YOUR PICTURES!
