Make it personal without making it generic
Use the parent's categories and invite recorded captions in their own voice.
Give a sample archival folder labeled together, one drawer, no surprises.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The scope is deliberately limited to one existing drawer or box.
- Skill
- Basic archival handling and accurate file naming are required; consult a conservator for damaged or valuable originals.
- Maintenance
- Leave an index in the box and a clear backup note with the digital files.
- Accessibility
- Use a comfortable work height, short sessions, magnification, large labels, and audio captioning if useful.
- Sustainability
- Reuse sound containers and add archival dividers instead of replacing every storage piece.
- Timing
- Schedule a quiet half-day with permission to stop early if the material becomes tiring or emotional.
