How to Protect and Preserve Your Genealogical Research after Your OWN Death | Michael Tormey’s “Legacy Blog”
The Web Site: Michael Tormey’s “Legacy Blog”.
This has come up in conversation a few times recently. This article may be of use to many of our members!
This article pertains to your family bible, photographs, and memorabilia as much as your genealogical research.
The ACHS scans old photos from Aransas County 25 years old or older and archives them along with the stories behind them.
At the same time they can be submitted to the annual calendar contest.
Talk to us about archiving your old photos. Come by the LAB or email us from this site.

Our own Pam Stranahan has been asked to write curricula related to an 1800s shipwreck site in the Gulf (tentatively called the Monterrey, named for the area of the Gulf in which it is located). The remote control robot is working with computerized precision 1330 meters below the surface on a 200 year old shipwreck off Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Currently, 2:40PM 2013-07-22, the feed is live with 3 cameras and a map. The video is incredible.
