Special Books

From the 1800s until around the 1970s People around the world would cut-out articles and pictures from the newspapers and magazines and keep them either in a box or in special books to remember the important events and people of their time.

When I moved to my house in New York I found a box containing 10 such special books from the 1920s-1960s. It was really interesting to see. Since I couldn't find the Owner I still have them.

I have seen other special books from different countries over the years.

Since I started my Blog in 2005 I have done a digital version of that. I keep a file on a USB Drive with what I consider to be the important events and people of that year that I posted about.  I don't just copy and paste all my blog posts from that year.

I have 15,740 saved in the past 17 years.
