Before the writing, before the organizing — preservation. In this first method episode, Julie shares how she digitized over 500 wartime letters between her grandparents Woodrow and Vera Bonner, written across the Pacific in 1945 and 1946. The free tool she used, why fragile letters and a child's handwriting got photographed before anything else, and the systematic transcription quirks that ended up revealing something about her grandparents she would not have learned any other way. If you have a box of family letters in a closet, this is the episode that tells you where to start. Loose Pearls: A Marriage in Letters, 1945–1946 is available on Kindle and audiobook. Paperback and hardcover coming soon.
