I don’t like hoarding papers, but I do it.  For example, I’ve been involved with the local Church for a number of years, and tend to generate quite a bit of “paper” in connection with that.   It’s often easier just to put old drafts of documents and other papers to one side than to cull them.   And after a while, that pile of documents gets filed away in a box or somewhere and forgotten about.

Eventually the time comes when the materials re-surface.  In our case, the trigger was the work we had going on.  Somewhat fortuitously, some material from the Church office is also to be sent to the Uniting Church archives.   So I’ve been busy going through some the materials that have accumulated here and adding some things to the material being sent.  It’s tedious and boring, but at times I come across something that brings back memories.   Most gets thrown out, but some is worthy of being archived.
