Join Sarah Hedlund from the Montgomery History Speaker’s Bureau on September 8th at 7:00 p.m. when she explains the basics of organizing and preserving your family’s documents and photographs. Sarah is the archivist and librarian for Montgomery History’s Jane C. Sween Research Library and Special Collections.
Every family has papers and photographs sitting around—dad’s letters from the war, mom’s recipe cards and photo albums, various diplomas and certificates from three generations, diaries, scrapbooks—what do you DO with all this stuff? How do you know what to keep and what’s okay to let go? And how can you continue to preserve your family’s story for future generations?
Sarah will focus on proper storage and conservation techniques that you can implement at home, as well as advice on knowing when to call in a professional.
