Family History Writing Challenge 2013

The Armchair Genealogist's Challenge
I will be participating in this year's writing challenge but my writing will be hosted in this Beyond the Horizon blog since I write almost daily in my other blog, my word count for the challenge will be too much for placing in one blog. 

I will count the writing I do as a combination of what while I am writing here and in my other blog. I have changed my mind and will only be writing here for the duration of the month of February.

This Beyond the Horizon blog is more like a journal because I write about technology as it applies to genealogy so it meets my personal and professional goals.

I decided today what I am going to write about in my challenge. I am going to write about the oldest photographs in my collection and how I am taking care of them and how I am archiving them. For the technology part, I will be photographing them in their archival envelopes. I will also report on how I scan them and back them up.

I'm not going to ask any questions. Focus requires limited distractions. Like cooking. Stock up on pizza or Delivery Numbers. Good luck!

Glad to see you're joining us in this challenge! I hope you participate in the Forum. I just found the plastic file box containing the journals, newspaper articles, momentos and books needed for this year's challenge. Unfortunately, they have survived but in a musty condition. I will eventually have to digitize them all. Do you have any suggestions for how to scan multiple scans into one PDF document?
