Preserving Your Own Letters

Obviously, being involved with a book which compiles many of the letters sent to Coach Ira Herr during World War II by several of his athletes and their loved ones, letter preservation is incredibly important to those involved with "Dear Coach: Letters Home from WWII."

Researching potential hosts for the "Dear Coach" virtual book tour and chatting quite frequently with others of shared interest on twitter and other social media sites, it's not hard to come to the realization that many of us are after the same goal - preserving history.

If you are also a correspondence preservationist, you may just find the Legacy Project very interesting. The link I've included will specifically teach you tips on preserving your families own letters so that they may last for decades to come. If you're like Lois Herr, and have the inclination to include them in a book, that's fantastic! For those not so inclined, however, these tips will at least help you preserve the letters privately for family and friends to enjoy well into the future.

Hope you find them quite useful!
