Why Should you be interested in the Leurig Library?

The biggest reason is you, your parents, your children, and family are probably in this website or will be in the future.

However, that question and answer are up to each of you.

In thinking of my passions, interests, and thoughts I would like to write, and the digitizing of photos, videos, ephemera, documents, stories, genealogy, and history, various ideas were considered. I also considered the short time I have left to record and provide information.  Some possibilities were

— Could try copying everything and giving family members a copy, but that is huge costs and some do not care for any of these things and would miss those who are coming into our lives.
—  Could upload the items to a site and let anyone who wants to sift through it all, but that is a lot of work and many would lose interest quickly.
— Could try to tie all of this together at websites describing the items and record genealogy information.

The real desire is for any family member of the Leurig, Fye, Kane families to have access to documents, photos, videos, memorabilia, and stories.  Any family member can access the Library without my being concerned if media is distributed correctly.  Hopefully, future generations can find family history as the storage locations should be there for a long time. And hopefully, after I am gone someone will keep the websites.

Please read my thinking on the page at the top of the website About My Passions, Addictions, and the Leurig Library  and About Louis Richard (Dick) Leurig for my conclusion and answer.

LEURIG LIBRARY is the answer

The “Leurig Library” is the result of this introspection.

Foreever.com was selected for storage of materials to be saved after I am gone. I will provide links to files, videos, photos, and materials on this permanent site through links.

A separate website, for the Leurig and extended families, contains the genealogy and family stories at www.leurigfamily.com

Why call it a “library”?
Thinking about the many aspects of libraries I have been responsible for managing or involved in through the years I take a broad view of the functions of libraries.  I prefer to think of libraries as learning centers containing depositories of information, stories of life in the past, present, and future, and the sharing of viewpoints.

The “Leurig Library” has these features. In order to give the library a function for identification the subtitle is”Life and Learning”.

Enjoy the Library, and yes, a discussion is allowed as the “Quiet Please” signs have been removed.  But, please, civil discussion only!

Getting ready for 2021 and beyond https://leuriglibrary.com/getting-ready-for-2018/ https://leuriglibrary.com/getting-ready-for-2018/#respond Sun, 24 Dec 2017 03:23:07 +0000 http://leuriglibrary.com/?p=389 Continue reading "Getting ready for 2021 and beyond"]]>  

My initial efforts for this website were from 2016 to 2018. Those were busy years for setting up this website covering the Leurig Library.  Time was spent changing media on the front of the web page to give the character of material included in the Library.  A number of posts have been written for posting in later years.  Research is ongoing on how to best present the material.

Photos and media have been stored on primary and backup servers, but still need to be titled and edited as part of a larger project in order to be shown on the Library site.  Progress was made, but now is the time to put all of this into action.

However there were setbacks. Attempting to include so many interests in the library resulted in re-thinking how to maintain the library.    My activities were cut back due to cancer treatments resulting in further delays.  Another setback occurred when I fell and shattered my femur resulting in months of recovery. Then other medical issues early in 2021.

Now I am 9o and if the website is to be useful I need to keep it going as long as I keep going.
So a decision was made to revamp the site starting kate in 2021 or at least when I turn 91 in 2022.

This is a companion to www.leurigfamily.com.  That website concentrates on family history and genealogy, with relevant material referenced in the Leurig Library.

My task the coming years is to coordinate the two sites to provide information and data to anyone interested in the Leurig, Fye, Kane families. Because this is a new venture, changes are  anticipated as the learning curve of how to best present the stories, media, photos, videos, and hobbies.

Please visit www.leurigfamily.com for genealogy and family history information.

These are ambitious undertakings, especially at my age, and I invite you to join me on the journey as I wander through our families, interests, and lives.
Although I have wandered around in getting this underway, the quote below gives me solace

.“Not all those who wander are lost.”
