Family Records: A Disaster Planning Guide

This practical manual from the Council of State Archivists describes the records that protect a family’s finances, health, civil rights, and family history. Some, such as deeds and mortgages, may be obvious to readers, but others, such as leases, proof of intellectual property, and certain tax records, are easily forgotten in the moment of crisis. The manual prompts readers to think through all the records that may help their family survive disaster and return to normal afterwards.

The 24-page manual is available for $10, plus $3 postage and handling, from the Council of State Archivists.
