I have a special announcement for all of my Gen Clubbers...
Adult Services is sponsoring a program here at the Library on May 5th from 7-8:30 titled "Archivist's Notebook." This is all good stuff that you should know about the proper way to store your "discoveries." Unfortunately there have only been a couple of people who have signed up for this excellent program; unless Abby has more people sign up in the next 2 days - she will pull the program for lack of interest. If you are passionate about the correct way to store your genealogy from notes to treasures, you will want to attend this program. Let's help Abby out and make this program a success!
Here are the particular's:
Archivist's Notebook
Genealogists acquire and arrange a vast array of materials, both physical and digital. Who isn’t excited to find an original document a grandparent or great-grandparent wrote? Or gathering photos and memorabilia from a favored family line? Your diligent work now will benefit generations to come, but only if the material is properly stored and prepared to pass to the next generation. Laura Cosgrove Lorenzana, genealogist and author of the blog The Last Leaf on This Branch, will offer ideas and best practices for ensuring the long life of the materials that are important to you and your family history.
