documentation, receipts for charitable contributions and records of 
contributions or distributions from IRAs, pension or annuities. There has to be 
better way!

On Wednesday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to noon, records analysts from the

safeguarding important personal papers. Archivists will be available to answer 
questions on preserving documents related to family history.
