I had the opportunity to work at our local historical museum. My job was to take a scrapbook of newspaper obituaries from 1919 and index all the names I found. It was truly an amazing experience. You would not believe how people died back then. The paper clippings were in perfect shape for being over 90 years old. Those obits where very valuable to researchers of our local history. Weather data from back then could be valuable to climate change researchers or other people doing hurricane studies. What some people might think as useless could be a pot of gold for other people. All of history is valuable for many reasons. I wonder where those papers in the picture are now.
