Saving Your History: How to Review and Organize Your “Stuff” to Meet Legal and Personal Needs
presented by Susie R. Bock
Humans create and collect material culture (documents, objects) in the course of living. Establishing control over your material culture can be daunting, but important so you can put your hands on what you need when you need it.
This workshop will:
·Help you sort and evaluate material culture (papers, objects, photographs, audio-visual material) created or collected.
·Advise on storing and caring for the materials to ensure their preservation.
·Advise on donating material to a cultural/historical institution.
These principles and procedures can be used by individuals or groups (such as community organizations).
