Is your closet full of boxes of old family photographs? Is your basement bursting with letters, diaries, and other documents from your family history research? Do you have scrapbooks that you want to make sure are around for generations to come? Chances are you have a stack of family papers and photo albums tucked away that you don’t know what to do with. This virtual preservation roadshow will teach you best practices for surveying, handling, and storing family materials and provide you with expert advice on how to care for items in your collection.

This program includes:
  • Access to 3+ hours’ worth of instructional video, handouts, and articles
  • Personalized advice from a qualified archivist or conservator on one family item
  • A gallery of student-submitted items and expert advice
  • Special discounts and virtual door prizes
  • Live Q&A with instructors and a selection of submitted items for the “roadshow”
  • Extended access to materials, recordings, and other materials
