I moved into the place where I now live over 15 years ago. At that time, I put my "important papers" in bankers' boxes and stashed them in closets upstairs and down. It's finally come time to clear out some space and I'm finding it strange to see what I once found important enough to keep. There is a lot of paper, most of it notes and term papers from courses I took as a mature student.
Some of the items are definitely recyclable at this point, like the psychology notes and papers. The information about anthropology courses I took explains some of the books that presently rest on my bookshelves. Not that I've picked up those books recently. Of more interest are the notes from my history courses.
When I glanced through my history papers, I could see that I often used my own family history to add context to various themes that I wrote about. It looks like those write ups might inspire new themes for my blog and any other writing I undertake about my family history. I've only just begun to dig through the boxes. Who knows what else I might find?
