I am currently exploring a few ideas, that are mostly related to family history. These types of projects interest me because I am close to them and the resources are easily accessible. One is related to my families past and participation in wars, and the other is related to my grandfather and the research he did. I would like to do these projects because they also let me get to know more about my family. These two would probably end up in a website format.

My family does have some historical item related to the wars, however I do not know if it will be enough to make a full project out of. The wars focused on would be World War I and II. Letters and stories, and audio is all that I would be able to provide at this moment.

My grandfather is a well known ophthalmologist who did a lot of research and has many slides that I think would be interesting to convert into digital. I don’t know how to do that but I think it would be interesting. While the group that may be interested in this sort of project might be small (maybe ophthalmologists), I think it would be an interesting idea.
