I’m glad to see this discussion here. I’ve been keeping yearly paper journals 
of the birds I see on mostly daily basis since 2006 in Colorado (Boulder, 
Gilpin and Larimer counties). I’m getting old, too, and was wondering what to 
do with these as my family would look through them then they’d likely be set 
aside and eventually forgotten and lost. Do you think the Denver Museum of 
Nature and Science would be interested in these even though I am not a famous 
ornithologist, just a bird-watcher of 60, mostly solitary, years of observation?

This is a nice tribute to Hugh Kingery.
Thanks to Hugh and his wife.  I hope you find a place to store your records.

I wholeheartedly agree with Chuck.
Pre-eBird paper lists are important artifacts of our birding history, 
especially as so much of our recordkeeping has shifted to digital.
And Jeff, your remarks are a great reminder for all of us to archive our 
earlier lists on eBird.
Those of us eBirders who regularly visit Denver City Park know something about 
this.
Sometime after the Cornell Lab invented eBird, a prominent Colorado birder who 
visited City Park regularly in his youth transferred all of his written birding 
lists from there into the database.
Between 1947 and 1950, young Hugh Kingery recorded hundreds of visits  and 
sightings in the park.
eBird tells us now that Hugh was responsible for the first 80 species sightings 
in Denver City Park, all in that period. (More than three decades later, in 
1987, he added two more first sightings.)
Hugh's 320 "Denver City Park" eBird lists far outnumber those of the rest of us.
His is a shining example of the importance of saving all of our sightings to 
the Cornell Lab's brilliant invention.

Good eBirding!

Veteran field ornithologists like Hugh should check into archiving their old 
checklists at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It’s an excellent 
archive housing the records of several of the prominent field ornithologists 
from Colorado’s past.

You should add the checklists onto eBird, so that everyone can benefit from the 
data.

Does anyone know of a place that might have an interest in saving old bird 
checklists? I have a packet several inches thick of everything from Chatfield 
to Rock Creek to Durango to Bonny and I'm ready to give them away or to toss 
them.
