share beyond scrapbooks and photo albums.
Whether putting together a genealogy (beginning the oldest person in the family) or family history (starting with the youngest person in the book), publishing your family story, keepsakes, dates, remembrances, photos and the like can be rewarding and economical. "Writing the book" can be a lifelong opus that contains all the data you've compiled, or a photo album that records fun, as well as statistical information within captions. You set your goals and we are here to help you form your project into reality.
Family Scrapbookers are fountains of information and work tirelessly to produce true works of art. This works extremely well when producing single issue. However, today's large and combined families sometimes hope for equal treatment, or a copy just like sis's. This is where publishing can help. Today's publishing options can utilize many scrapbook designs and techniques, though not reproduce the same 3-D and tactile effects. Publishing material originally bound for a scrapbook by combining the best of both worlds, or simply rendering an unbound scrapbook into hard or soft cover 2-D printed pages (or eBook format).
It seems like everyone is ready to snap photos - with cameras, video recorders, or phones. As the vast majority of photograph "originals" are digital in the 21st Century, adding informative captions or other content to traditional photo books is a natural upgrade! Even traditionally published hard or softbound photo books can contain "do it yourself" photo corners or archival sleeves for later additions. Utilize a 3-ring binding and later additions are a snap!
In today's digital world, traditional publishing is even coming to be a solution to "extra copy" archiving. As you digitize shoe boxes of photos, file drawers of documents, albums of yellowing newspaper clippings and cards, and stacks of letters, consider publishing a book - or books, allowing everyone to have a copy. As time goes by, it's surprising how many archival "copies" get discarded. The more you share, the better the chances of your work being preserved and enjoyed.
