Genealogy Workshop: Creating a Family Archives

Creating a Family Archives
with Rhonda Chadwick

Join us at a special offsite Genealogy Workshop as Rhonda Chadwick shares the secrets to creating your own family archive for future generations! Attendees will learn the basics of archival principles, digital preservation, storytelling and how to create a legacy using pictures, documents, and artifacts. The discussion is rooted in the idea that our lives matter and that we are all someone else’s ancestor. We will discuss knowing where to begin, learn the best location within the home to store documents, receive a presentation of archival enclosures, and get tips on organizing materials. We will discuss digital preservation and consider a few creative ideas of how to tell our family’s story.

This event will be held at the Portsmouth Historical Society. No registration required! Learn more here: https://portsmouthpl.librarycalendar.com/event/GW259
