- Our Digital Heritage: Blessing or Burden?
-

What you see above is the scanned-in image of a postcard mailed by my grandparents to one of my grandmother’s sisters while they were traveling in 1957 (interesting to note the lack of a house address or zip code). I scanned it in because it’s one of the few samples I have of my grandmother’s “voice” and handwriting and I wanted my kids to be able to see it. Scanning it was a great way to both preserve it, back it up, and not have to worry about storing the physical postcard.
