Good Morning Folks

Please delete the following query if you think it’s not appropriate for this group.

I have had a very difficult and miserable childhood due to my disability and hardly a day went by, without being teased or picked on a school and college.  I didn’t have very supportive parents either.

Many years ago, I decided to start keeping a diary in which to record how my day went and any thoughts or feelings I had for that period.

I have now got a 'stack' of those diaries which are now taking up most of my bedroom space.

 

If the worst comes to the worst, my house could get burgled or catch fire and I could lose all those diaries.  These diaries go back to the mid-1980s.

 

Is there any where I could put them for safe keeping?

 

Also, is there any way I can put them online so that I can keep them 'forever'?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

If you can be bothered, and it sounds like it would be worth the time investment, you could photograph every page and store it digitally. That way you're then free to duplicate it easily and store it on your computer or one or more storage drives which can be kept in as many different places as you want

My Dad used to be a police officer, an old fashioned one who would always carry a notebook…when he went back to civilian life he still kept on the habit of always having this small notebook with him, in which he would write all his most important things…passwords, addresses and stuff. I kept nagging at him that he really needed to make a duplicate of it, because one day he might lose it, he never did, and guess what happened?
