Calling all budding archivists! Whether you’re the collector of your family history or the job has fallen into your lap, this workshop is for you! Over three sessions, you’ll learn the best practices for preserving your photographs and documents, tips and tricks to digitizing your memorabilia, and how to research your family’s past.
Preserve and Organize Like a Pro. August 14, 2024
Photographs and documents are important keepsakes, but over time they can deteriorate. This session will cover basic photo preservation, as well as methods to help you organize your collection like an expert.
Simplifying Digitizing. August 21, 2024
Digitizing your family archives can seem daunting, but with a little guidance, you’ll know your JPEGs from TIFFs and MP3 from MP4. Don’t worry, we won’t get too technical; it’ll be just enough information to make you feel comfortable with the process.
Trouble-Free Genealogy. August 28, 2024
Now that your family papers are organized and digitized, we’ll help you fill in the ancestral gaps. This session will dive into oral histories, family trees, and advice for turning a genealogy journey from pain to pleasure.
