Preservation 101

Do you have old family photographs, books, documents, or other memorabilia in boxes in a spare room or garage? Are you unsure if your family heirlooms and documents might have any value? Do you think you might have something great and want to preserve it, but just don’t know where to start?

Jessica Schneider, Dallas Jewish Historical Society Archivist, will host Preservation 101 – an introduction to preservation workshop* – to help provide practical advice for handling, storing, and caring for personal collections, and to raise awareness of the value that personal family collections can hold for historical or cultural heritage institutions. Attend Preservation 101 and learn what you can do to begin to organize & preserve your family’s unique story.

*Workshop includes a Preservation Starter Kit
