DPL: Preserving your Family Archives

8th Floor - Genealogy Section, J. Erik Jonnson Central Library 1515 Young Street, Dallas

Stacks of old photos. Mounds of loose paper. That one vase that belonged to your great aunt Winifred.

We all have old things that we've kept throughout the years that belonged to our loved ones. Yet, through those years, information has been lost, photos are crumbling and memories have faded. Get advice about caring for YOUR family archives from DPL's Family Archives Librarian Samantha Diaz. Participate in interactive activities to rediscover your family treasures and stories. Attendees will get a take-home kit of archival materials so they can get started preserving their family collections at home.
