Collecting
the Past:
There are many reasons to collect and numerous ways to begin collecting.
Some people focus on items they remember from their childhood
or start with a treasured family heirloom and a desire to learn
more about it. Other collectors look for only one type of object,
while a few grab anything that strikes their fancy. What kind
of collector are you?

The
Urge to Collect: Do
you collect something? Do you seek out dishes, stamps or antique
furniture? Do you prowl garage sales for hidden treasures? If
so, you may already be a collector. But you are also a collector
if you have family heirlooms or even photographs of your friends.
The desire to collect is perhaps
as old as human beings. Today people collect because objects bring
joy, evoke pleasant memories, and even make money. What ever your
motives, all collectors help preserve part of the past for future
generations.
