Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
1) Do you have a digital genealogy library? If so, what titles are in
it. If not, why not?
2) Tell us about your digital genealogy library in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook Status post. Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.
[Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for this suggested topic]
Here's mine:
Yes - yes I do have a digital genealogy library of sorts. For me, it's not all in one place. I have digital file folders for:
- Digital Genealogy Methodology Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Books file folders)
- Digital Surname Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname file folders)
- Digital Local History Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Localities/by State file folders)
- I have some digitized genealogy books on my Kindle app which I can access on my PC and laptop computers.
- Digital Periodicals (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Magazines file folders)
- Digitized Conference Syllabi (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Conferences file folders)
- Presentation Handouts (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Presentations file folders)
- Internet Articles (strewn across many file folders in Genealogy/by whatever and in my yearly Download file folders)
- My Own Books (in Genealogy/Books and Reports/Books by Randy file folder)
- My Own Ancestor and Relative Articles (genealogical sketches of persons in Genealogy/Ancestor Files/Biographies)
- My Own Presentations and Handouts (in my Genealogy/Talks file folders for each presentation)
- Digitized Record Images (in my Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname/by Family file folders)
- Digitized Family Photograph Images (in my My Pictures/by Years/ and/or My Pictures/by Family Group file folders, and many also in the Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname/by Family file folders)
- Digitized Family Movies (in my Family/FOREVER file folder)
All of the above, and more (I'm sure I've forgotten stuff in some - or misplaced in an - obscure file folder) are backed up every night on iDrive (If they have been modified) and many of the "keepers" are on my Google Drive and FOREVER accounts.
I see that I need to do a lot of housekeeping to get a lot of stuff into a logical file structure on my computer, and by extension, in iDrive. Another task to pursue in 2025 (I intentionally neglected this as a Goal).
