Blog #advice for donating items of historical value

How to Weed Your Attic: Getting Rid of Junk without Destroying History by Elizabeth Dow and Lucinda Cockrell provides an overview of how to assess your possessions and archives for historical (not monetary or collectible) value and to donate or preserve those that do. I provide an overview of the contents and my brief assessment. Overall, the book is a useful starting point for downsizers who are interested in putting in the effort and time.
