Do you have boxes of film negatives, old letters, or Great Aunt June's handstitched tapestry you want to preserve? Multnomah County Records & Archives and Multnomah County Library invite you to take a deep dive into your own histories with this hands-on preservation workshop. Join experienced archivists and records professionals as they answer questions and offer strategies on preserving photographs, documents, artifacts and stories well into the future.
Preserving your stories has the power to not only bring us closer together, but change the course of history. But how do we get started? This preservation workshop will give attendees the know-how on the best practices, strategies, and materials needed to keep their personal archives for generations to come. This workshop will feature a blend of demonstration and dialogue for an interactive experience.
All attendees are encouraged to bring examples from their own personal archives. Registration preferred (but not required!) and opens October 4.
