What a wonderful thing is modern technology. We all have lots of bits of paper with texts handwritten and printed on some old machine. But a piece of paper can be destroyed by fire or flood. The text could be important or interesting but it could be thrown away. Fortunately there are people who hoard! My cousin kept many letters from another cousin in the wartime. Her daughter has used a scanner and now I can read the letters as well. Here's a Christmas card from 76 years ago. There are many sheets of paper to be scanned for the Cornwall Centre.
