Christmas Memories ‘Keep Keepsakes Safe’

Many gifts this Christmas will become treasured keepsakes through the powerful memories they will one day evoke memories that will be shared with friends, children and grandchildren for generations.  The perfect way to keep those keepsakes safe and in pristine condition for decades to come is to store them carefully.

Family History, Baby, Wedding and Wedding Dress boxes from the Memories and Nostalgia Collection contain everything needed to help capture and preserve the memorable moments of a life time. Each themed storage box contains a range of smaller boxes and tissue papers, all manufactured from acid free materials, and a selection of sheets aimed to help in documenting the moment.

The Memories and Nostalgia Collection is also appealing for keepsake owners to take part in an online project to explain what their keepsakes mean to them.  The ‘Keep Keepsakes Safe’ project aims to raise awareness of the need for information about safe storage and the potential for recovery should keepsakes become damaged. “Many keepsake owners are not aware of the services and advice available and tragically throw away irreplaceable items when they believe they have decayed too much over time or sustained physical damage,” explained managing director, David Waterman.

Each person submitting their keepsake memory will receive a selection of sheets to ‘capture the moment’ — these include Christmas, New Year, On That Day and Timeline in PDF format along with a ‘Keeping Your Memories Alive’ fact sheet.

Also, every week from October to December 2007, a random entry will be chosen as ‘memory of the week’ and the author will receive a Family History storage box made from acid free archival quality materials and a ‘day you were born’ chart. In addition, Memories and Nostalgia will donate £25 in the name of the weekly winner to research into Alzheimer’s disease.  

The Memories and Nostalgia Collection is manufactured by I Waterman Box Makers Ltd, who supplies leading Museums with archive grade acid free materials for long term storage. The company also holds the Royal Warrant of Appointment.
