Tips for Keeping Your House History Updated
Your house history is a living document. It can provide
the foundation for an ongoing record of your house. Below are some
suggestions for keeping your house history up-to-date.
- Keep a record of any modifications you make to the
interior or exterior of your house.
- Include any planning documents, personal planning
notes and before and after photographs documenting the changes.
- Keep contracts and receipts for work done on your
house.
- Retain receipts and samples of materials used when
you redecorate or make alterations to your house.
- Take periodic photographs of your house recording
special events or the impact of exceptional weather.
- Keep a record of special events, visitors and stories
related to your house.
- Record and save newspaper stories that refer to
significant events in your immediate neighborhood.
- Keep a photographic record of changes that occur on
your block.
Remember, history is made up of the events happening
today that someone records for tomorrow.
