Genealogists often use the phrase "family file" when referring to the database with all the family information. These are my physical family files. The other day I decided to put pictures of family on the files. This is a wonderful reminder of why and for whom I am collecting this information.
I want to know the people who went before us. I want to help others in the family know them too. I often feel the responsibility and stewardship of getting these files in order so that they make sense and are useful to whomever is "lucky" enough to have to deal with them after I've joined the family on the other side.
