I love it when you guys do videos like this!
I get the same with old photographs. Even the ones without people, just the way the streets were….people walked on those streets in a completely different time, experiencing completely different things, it wonderful.
I remember seeing my parents wedding picture when I was younger (maybe around 10ish?) and thinking “this was what happened. This was the time when my parents joined”, they separated and divorced when I was younger but a part of me now is glad that I have the memory of that picture – not because I wish they were together (I’m very glad they’re not) but because it’s something that once happened and it made life experiences out of it – I came as a result of it! haha.
It’s good to hear about how people without SI approach these things. I’m an INFP…most likely. I’d say not to throw away all the ones you don’t want, libraries should have wonderful resources like that.
I’m an INTJ, so introverted sensing isn’t even in my stack. But, here I am, I did family history and shared it with cousins and my brother on ancestry.com. I’m currently working on my husband’s family history.
I must admit, I felt a twinge of envy seeing all those carefully preserved, organized, and marked pictures your grandmother put together. What a treasure trove! Most of our family photos have been lost.
Family history is our little part of human history. Enjoy the journey, Joel. You’ll be glad you did.
Thanks Becky. I remember my grandfather’s first cousin passed away at 102 a few years ago. He had no “next of kin” so some of my family was tasked with cleaning out his house. I think he was an ISFJ and he saved EVERYTHING. Not a hoarder – but did keep a lot of items. I had the same thought as you and Brooke… why not donate many of his items to a local museum or library for his community to use. I wasn’t in charge of the clean up and was living in a different city 3 hours away. So I doubt the family members cleaning up took my advice – but I agree that things that matter shouldn’t just be tossed carelessly.
Rachel. Thanks for your comments. You mentioned old college assignments… I still keep mine in a file drawer. Hahaha. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. But for some reason I keep them. I also cringe when I look back at past college work. I intend to go through my files and purge these one day. I think it is an experience I want to have. For example… when I’m ready to dump all old college work I want a day to look through it first and reflect. It’s got to be honored in some way. My Introverted Sensing is so weird.
As an ISFJ, my first reaction to your grandmother’s albums was one of admiration and appreciation for the level of detail she devoted to documenting her family history. It was a big thumbs up moment, “Awesome job, Grandma!”. I cringed when I heard you say you were THROWING AWAY some of her valuable work. However, I find myself in a similar predicament as keeper of our family’s photos and memorabilia. My INFJ and INTJ children have no interest in saving these items. It pains me to think of the death of this part of my family as they have no plans to have children and so none of the history would be passed along to another generation, perhaps another ISFJ? ;-) (I had saved their favorite toys and books to pass along to their children but have recently come to terms with the futility of it all and have begun selling or donating these items.) I am glad that you find some of her work valuable to you, personally.
I agree with Brooke that the unwanted albums should be donated to a library, university or local museum for historical purposes rather than literally thrown away.
I enjoyed the video. Best of luck sorting through the albums.
