[or-roots] Follow-up on storage of oil painting

[EugeneMelvin.roots at comcast.net]

To those that suggested hanging these painting on a wall I was not clear in my original email.  If these paintings were not done by my grandfather and or of other family members I would not keep them.

My wife and I have moved into our retirement home and well to be honest these painting do not fit.

It is like other items I have inherited that are of no value except that they belonged to my parents, grandparents and other relatives.  I have wrap then in cloth and place them storage containers and they are in a storage room that has a humidify going to control the temperature and moisture.

As for paper documents I have made digital copies and sent these copies to my children for save keeping and also placed a portable hard drive with everything on it at my local bank safe deposit box.

I will contact the Portland Art Museum and the Oregon Historical Society for their input.

I have always said if someone has a question or needs help this is the best group to turn to for advice.

Thanks,

Eugene
