Examples from Three Family Histories

The three family history books shown here are based upon the transcripts of oral history interviews and are accompanied by CD-ROMs which hold much additional material, such as family documents, photographs, movie clips and audio files. The CDs also contain the text and images of the books themselves, as well as digital audio recordings of the interviews.

The "Digital Archiving of Family History" contains a wide range of family history materials from these family history CD archives, representing a variety of digital archiving techniques and procedures.

Two of the works, the "Marjory B. Farquhar Family History" and the "Paula K. Brings Personal History," are of our own families and consequently we are able to use them here. Over the several years we worked on Martha H.Schluter's project we became very close friends and she has graciously granted us permission to publish material from her family history as well.

It should be noted that for obvious reasons of privacy the more personal audio files, photographs, and documents in these family histories have not been used.
