"Your History: Audio, Video, and Digital": In-Person Badger Talk in Hartland, WI

This is a free, in-person event hosted by Hartland Public Library on October 14th, 2025 at 6:00 PM CDT. No registration necessary for this event.

If you are like many Wisconsinites, your family history has gradually moved from analog (photographs, letters, keepsakes) to electronic (audio, film, and video) to digital (websites, social-media accounts, files in the cloud). Learn how to ensure your family’s A/V and digital history doesn’t disappear in a pile of tape dust or a cloud of pixels!

Dorothea Salo teaches about digital information in the iSchool at UW-Madison: everything from online privacy and security to relational-database design. She has also built “Recover Analog and Digital Data” (RADD) to save personal, family, and community history in Wisconsin from decaying 20th-century media such as VHStapes and floppy disks. Her professional interests include copyright, scholarly communication, and digital preservation.
