​About the Program

Preservation 101:  Preserving Your Family Keepsakes

I think we all have heard the stories – Grandmother Mary’s wedding dress, when removed from the plastic film and cardboard box, was discolored and the lace had become a tasty snack for a family of bugs. Remember those “magnetic” scrapbooks from the 1970s whose pages now hold our precious photographs hostage?  What happened?  Can we actually prevent this from happening again?

This workshop will inform you about best practices and help you make decisions about preserving your documents, photographs, scrapbooks, textiles, and artifacts.  Topics covered will include information about housing, handling, and storage, as well as discussions about supplies and knowing who to call if disaster strikes.  

The proper care and protection of your family’s treasures ensures that you will be able to pass them along to the next generation.
