I'm interested in keeping a personal journal, digitally that includes digital photos etc.
Are questions relating to personal and family journaling (both physical and digital) appropriate for genealogy.stackexchange.com?
As a follow on question: if this isn't the correct location, please direct me to a better one.
It seems like it would be too early to exclude these questions, and they do seem very much a part of Genealogy and Family History. After all, keeping such journals and documentation now may help future generations in their research of their ancestral lineage.
During the proposal, we originally named the site "Genealogy" but then decided it was more than that and called it "Genealogy and Family History". Family History includes more than just tracing ancestors. It also includes the telling and recording of family stories.
Personally, I think this site can include genealogy questions, family history questions, and personal and family journalling.
There is actually an Association of Personal Historians, and their interest overlaps with Genealogy and Family History so much, that I think it would be a shame to exclude them.
The next question would be whether we should include Scrapbooking, which is defined by Wikipedia as: "a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook."
But I'm fine with what the majority think on this.
If we did decide to include these, we should ensure that standard tags are defined for their use.
I think questions on interviewing relatives and organizing and publishing are appropriate, which I think might use a lot of the same techniques.
