To preserve...

Photos and documents
Of course, scanning the family photograph collections and putting them on CDs will make them easier to keep, and to distribute among family members. Thus the chances of some collections surviving for future generations will be enhanced.

If you have old Lugthart family photos, and would like them scanned to disc, please contact lugthart.org.  If you can scan them yourselves, and would be willing to share them with Lugtharts everywhere, please check the file readme.html here for the file naming conventions I'll be using here.  Obviously, there are millions of old photos around, and their value to anyone is negligible unless they can be linked to the actual people in the pictures.

Family Tree
Several sites on the World Wide Web currently list entire family trees, and other organizations keep hard copy or archives of electronic files.  Listing all possible Lugthart material with those sites and organizations will also provide "backup" preservation of the information, independent of this site.
