I ran into my high school history teacher recently and as we were catching up, I commented that though not a real history buff as a student, I find myself drawn to learn more now both globally and personally. He commended me for my interest and agreed that I was no history buff as a student. My mother and father gave me their collection of family items that had been handed down for generations. Tw
o years ago my wife and son began going through the material and realized one of the concepts that helped launch HeirShare. We were the only family that had access to these collections and we have about 30 family members who would be interested. We began scanning photo albums, letters as old as mid 1800’s, documents, and more, then organized the material and copied it onto flash drives and sent to all for Christmas that year. It occurred to me that this is a service families needed. HeirShare is now poised to deliver that service to families in the upstate of SC. HeirShare will organize your family’s collection, scan and make copies of it, then store them in the proper folders, sleeves, cases and boxes (which will slow or stop the acidic deterioration) and help you decide where is the safest place to store them. HeirShare will then make an electronic copy and deliver it to you on the best media. HeirShare will also set up a cloud storage site so that your extended family members can browse the collection at their leisure. We will not ship your irreplaceable material anywhere and risk loss or damage. We will work in your home or in our workshop. We will ensure that your collection is stored to last for generations. Our mission is to help you conserve and share your historical family collection so that your entire family can learn about your rich family history.
