The Cambridge dictionary defines Memorabilia as objects that are collected because they are connected with a person or event, which is thought to be very interesting. A collection of items that bring back memories of past events, that takes you on a trip down the memory lane. I have one such collection myself; A whole assortment of trinkets and tales that leave me feeling nostalgic, every time I open the box. Over the years I have kept every significant little thing that’s left a distinct memory in my mind and in my heart. Thinking about it now, I can recall concert tickets to my favorite music artist, a small sign that I “borrowed” from the school library back in my school days and my colors badge for sports that I took off my high school blazer. All these items have been kept in a box at the back of my cupboard and I often take it down and go through it, every time I do a spring clean.
It’s great to have all these things, but it’s probably better to have it in a more organized manner, rather than leave them haphazardly, collecting dust and possibly get ruined, broken or worse, by getting lost, along with the memory it carries. There are plenty of ways in which to solve this problem. One of my favorites is to compile a scrapbook. An entire compendium of pages that contains every thing from movie memorabilia, to celebrity photos. Some of the Items, I’ve had to change or re-arrange, just so that they could fit onto the pages or allow me to turn the pages easily.
Aside from keeping your own personal memories, memorabilia refers to collecting other things. Things like Baseball cards, Coke cans from all the different series they have brought out, even Star trek memorabilia. It probably sounds crazy, but you can pretty much collect anything that forms some form of chronological, or other, series of items or events that can portray a history for someone. I once saw a collection of cards for all teams that were in the premier soccer league for 2000. He had arranged them, team by team, Highlighting all the star players and their profiles. It was incredible to go through and I was really impressed at the diligence and dedication he had put into it. We got speaking about it while I was thumbing through it and he told me that a collector offered him a substantial amount of money for the whole thing.
As you can see there’s really not a much that’s required to collecting memorabilia, other than a bit of imagination and dedication to putting it all together. Who knows, maybe you could put something together that turns out to be really valuable one day!
