30th Anniversary Presentation???

[newtodis]

Hi All!

I'm mostly a lurker on this board but love to see what you all are able to do. It's truly amazing work!! I can only hope my pages look half as good as yours all do!!

I'm working with our Auxiliary for the fire department that I work at for this year's 30th anniversary celebration. Does anyone have any suggestions on good display ideas for the pictures/articles? The only "options" I've thought of are a scrapbook (which I have more than enough supplies for the pages, would have to buy a book but that would be ok), the grade school poster board type display or something digital. This will be displayed at our picnic on 9/14 so I don't have much time with this and have about 4 gallon sized ziptop bags of pictures of various people, fires, car accidents, etc. Right now, I'm leaning toward the scrapbook. My hesitiation with the scrapbook is that it limits how many people can see it at once. With the poster board, I think it will not look nice for the occassion. My concern with the digital is we're having the picnic at a park so not really a place to display it.

Any thoughts, tips, suggestions would be wonderful!!

I would do a scrapbook and leave areas for journaling where members of the fire dept could write in their own memories of the pictures you have. Then they are also part of the project.

How about putting it together as scrapbook pages but instead of keeping it all in one album for the day put about 3-4 sleeves together and tie them with ribbon. Then you have lots of mini scrapbooks for everyone to pass around and once the picnic is over put them into 1 or 2 if necessary books so they can be kept whereever they eventually go.

I really like Lisa's idea of leaving some journaling space on pages along with having some acid free pens.
