Description

Photographs, home videos, letters and documents of the Tamm family, gathered over 6 years.

Provenance

Deposited by the creator, who asked for it to be kept for their grandchildren. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
