Preserve Family Heirlooms

Family heirlooms do not always have monetary value, but they are often priceless in terms of sentimental value. Family heirlooms are items to be treasured and valued. Someone's favorite childhood book could be an important heirloom. An ancestor's jewelry, could range from monetarily valuable rings and bracelets to the sentimentally valuable costume or toy jewelry, a scrapbook or an old family photo album, or a love letter or diploma on fragile paper,... Many items are passed down from generation to generation, but over time, they can become worn or damaged.

To ensure these remain in good condition for future generations to enjoy, you might need to make some special preservation efforts. These might include placing items in a specially controlled display, in extreme cases. Or, it could be as simple as having heirlooms restored and repaired by a professional.
