For some time now, we have been writing about the fact that eco-friendly photo albums are beautifully handmade items, many of which coming from the exotic island paradise of Bali, in Indonesia.
Though this is all true, it's not the complete story, as someone pointed out to us recently.
These organic photo albums are also great for archival purposes.
Today, the tens of millions of baby boomers are reaching retirement age at an astounding rate, and there is a block of tens of millions.
This generation once thought they would live forever, but now they are coming to the realization that that is not going to happen, and their thoughts are turning to ways of preserving what they have seen, felt, and in many other ways, experienced during their lives.
This information, whether prose or photographs, in the minds of this block of people, is needing to be passed along to children, grandchildren and beyond.
What better place to store it than in an album that, because of its beauty, begs to be opened again and again by these descendants? It is rather obvious that the baby boomer generation, as well as the World War Generation, referred to demographers as the Silent Generation, have seen a lot of things happen in their lifetimes.
I remember that my dad used to ride to school in a horse and buggy, or ski there in the winter.
By the time he died, he had witnessed men on the moon.
The baby boomers were born during the time of Happy Days and just before, and, whether involved or not, have witnessed Vietnam, the race riots, the hippy movement, the Cold War, Space Race, the fall of Communism, and who knows what else before their generation is gone.
Both are very unique generations with much to be saved.
Museums preserve culture, but archival photo albums preserve individuals.
Don't let your life go unrecorded.
Get one or more of these very special photo albums, and get started today.
