The idea that family photos and journals would be of any interest to anyone is intriguing to me. I had no idea there were non-hobbyist repositories for that kind of stuff and I thought the hobbyists kept it to facts, trees and local lore.

In the US, they tend to be called "historical societies", but your local college/university may have one. They vary in size and complexity, but most love visitors! How else are you going to know what it was like in the past without documents created in the past? We have deeds, charters, film, audio, photos, sketchbooks, school logbooks, scrapbooks, records from local churches, legal papers, correspondence, diaries, and other writings (OK, poetry by a cat lady: it's my favorite).
