Why? It's an interesting and fun activity. It's a way for one to preserve the memories of the events in their life for posterity. How many times have you viewed a photo album and couldn't remember who the people are, or their names, or where a photo was taken, or the details of the event or occasion. I have hundreds of photos taken by my parents and grandparents of past gatherings and places where they and we, when I was a child, had been, but I don't know who the people are, or where the gathering took place, or the reason for the gathering.

I just received an email with an obituary of a second cousin who just past away explaining his life's notable activities and accomplishments. I'd seen his picture in several photo's, but never knew who he was. There are a lot of others too that I have no idea of who they are or what the reason for a gathering may have been. They are souls lost to me.

You may not be curious about where you came from or who may be related to you. Maybe, you don't care about events that affected and shaped your life, but others may.

Surely your children will be interested, especially when they're older and start reminiscing. I bet you'd enjoy thumbing through your scrapbook while your grandchildren sit on your lap and you explain all the photos and clippings - maybe brag a little. And when your days are over you can pass the scrapbooks to posterity for them to see and read about past events, gatherings, people in your life, and your accomplishments, if any. Perhaps, the information in the scrapbook will explain events that have shaped their lives.

The information could also make for a nice obituary.

Biographers get much of their information from journals, diaries, news clippings, etc. kept by the subject or persons who knew or were known to the subject. Maybe you will become notable for something. The scrapbook would help to provide an accurate picture of that notability. Your descendants will appreciate it.

So many soul's, and details of events are lost because no one bothered to keep a record. Let your scrapbook be the record of your life and the events that took place within it.
