I had my first grandchild this year, a girl, and I am trying to record info. about her year of birth. What do you think she would want to know at 16 about what was going on in the year she was born ?

Get your movie camera out and take pictures of her, her parents, her grandparents. Take a walk through her room (with the camera) showing her crib, her favorite toy or teddy bear.
Take movies of the house and drive through the neighborhood taking pictures of the roads, trees, buildings, and open fields (if there are any left).
Then, get the movies that you took onto DVD, and keep them current with the technology of the day. (If you recorded them on BETA format years ago, it would not be too helpful now - so keep upgrading to the current technology).
I would try to make it an hour long or so. Interview your family about her - take pictures of Aunt Sue and Uncle Jim with the baby.
I can almost guarantee you that she will treasure this when she is 16, and the older she gets, the more she will treasure it.
And, one more thing. Don't stop taking these pictures when she is one or two years old. Keep it up throughout your life. Her first day of school, her first date, etc.
Memories, Sweet Memories !

Songs in the charts, fashion, the environment ... never having been a 16yr old girl I don't know what would really appeal to one at that age. What a wonderful idea. You might want to keep some newspapers/magazines of this time.
I do hope you've posted this question in other categories. There are trolls here and, consequently, the LGBTs tend to batten down the hatches against questions not directly pertaining to this category.

Stuff that happened around the world during the year, maybe you could keep one of those "2006 in pictures" supplements that are in every newspaper these days. Also clothes and hairstyles that are in fashion, what songs were in the charts the day she was born
