These tend to be rare or unique items which have an attractive appearance or contents of an immediate interest. An example is the first issue of the Loughborough University arts magazine Masque in 1968.\u00a0 I have no particular connection to the production or contents of it \u2013 but nevertheless am reluctant to just throw it away. I propose to introduce a new category for such items called \u2018Too Special to throw away\u2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Named individuals:<\/strong> People other than oneself referred to in the Wish List must be specified. However, in practice, most of the time the individuals concerned are one\u2019s family descendants. Therefore, the Wish List will be changed to require only those people other than family descendants to be specified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glance, Read and Remember categories:<\/strong> When selecting the Remember category I seemed to be always also selecting either a Glance or Read category as well. The Glance and Read categories are in effect the mechanism for remembering rather than a desire in their own right. To sort this out, I went back to the desires that I originally teased out for my Retirement cards (described in <a title=\"Plans for Year Files\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/2012\/12\/22\/photobooks-work-for-mementos\/\">earlier entries<\/a>), and I concluded that I was trying to distinguish between wanting to be reminded about some people\/place\/experience\/feelings, and wanting to not forget some people\/place\/experience\/feelings. The latter is the \u2018Remember\u2019 category and the former is the \u2018Glance\u2019 or \u2018Read\u2019 category. Therefore the three items \u2018Glance\u2019, \u2018Read\u2019, \u2018Remember\u2019 categories in the Wish List will be changed to \u2018Not forget\u2019 and \u2018Be Reminded of\u2019. These two new categories should have an impact on the storage and display options that are chosen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digitisation and Physical item options:<\/strong> The digitisation options specified in the \u2018Digitisation to be performed\u2019 column seemed to be always either \u2018Scanned to PDF\u2019 or \u2018Photographed\u2019; while the physical item options in the \u2018What to do with the physical item\u2019 column seemed always to be \u2018Put in Presentation folder\u2019 or \u2018Destroy\u2019. In practice these two categories seem to be mixing up a) whether a digital or physical version will be retained, \u00a0b) how the digital or physical item is to be retained, and c) how the item is to be presented in order to achieve the Wish List desires. Therefore, to make these columns more useful, they will be replaced with the following:<br \/>\n&#8211; a column headed \u2018Include in Digital collection Yes \/ No\u2019<br \/>\n&#8211; a column headed \u2018Include in Physical collection Yes \/ No\u2019<br \/>\n&#8211; Text above the table stating \u201cAll items to be included in the digital collection will be either Scanned to a PDF file or photographed to a JPG file, given a file name which includes the Reference Number allocated in the index, and stored in the \u2018PAW-PERS Files\u2019 folder\u00a0 on my laptop.<br \/>\n&#8211; a column headed \u2018How the digital item will be displayed\u2019<br \/>\n&#8211; a column headed \u2018How the physical item will be displayed\/stored\u2019<\/li>\n<li><strong>Word or Excel format:<\/strong> The Wish List form is currently a Word file which works fine for recording the information, but makes it difficult to analyse the full set of choices that have been made. Therefore an Excel version of the form is also provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Wish List Table now looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Updated-Wish-Table-Headings-03Apr2013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308\" title=\"Updated Wish Table Headings 03Apr2013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Updated-Wish-Table-Headings-03Apr2013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Updated-Wish-Table-Headings-03Apr2013.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Updated-Wish-Table-Headings-03Apr2013-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Updated-Wish-Table-Headings-03Apr2013-500x175.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTemplates of the updated Wish List form are available here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Wish-Table-Template-v2.0-03Apr2013.doc\">Wish List Template v2.0 &#8211; 03Apr2013 &#8211; Word version<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Wish-Table-Template-v2.0-03Apr2013.xls\">Wish List Template v2.0 &#8211; 03Apr2013 &#8211; Excel version<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a precursor to starting on the Year Files, I used the analysis of what I want to achieve (described in an earlier entry), as the basis of a Wish List pick list to aid in deciding what to do &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/2013\/04\/03\/wish-table-picklist\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-memento-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1355,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions\/1355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwofc.com\/ofc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
