Pandora’s Box: Managing a Private Collection

What do you do with a lifetime of diaries, letters, and other written keepsakes? What do you do with someone else’s collection you’ve discovered or inherited upon death? One way is to “tour” the collection by writing a new journal, using it as a travel journal while you explore the materials. Then you’re left with one book and can discard the rest. Would you like me to do this for you? Ship me your materials, and I’ll boil your collection down to one handwritten diary to pass on, giving you the highlights and summaries, with or without your direction. Don’t just toss it all in the trash. Let’s find the gems and create a treasure out of the collection.
