My partner and I have been digitizing my late father's research archive for two years now and we keep having the same fight about what to preserve versus what to discard. They want to be systematic and efficient, scanning only the 'important' materials, while I feel like we're losing context and meaning by being too selective, but the project feels endless and it's straining our relationship.
More people experience this than they realize.
The tension between preservation completeness and practical limits becomes a proxy for deeper differences in how partners value memory, legacy, and shared labor.
“Where Are You with Libraries and knowledge preservation?”
Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
