Description: Many of the Historical Societys most important collections would not exist today if someone in the past had not taken the time to organize and preserve them. Your own family records are important too, and you can take steps to ensure that your familys papers last well into the future. Join us for the first session of a two-part series in which you will learn techniques to care for your family records. Library staff will discuss options for arranging and storing documents. The second session, which will take place during the spring, will focus on caring for books. The fee is $30 for RIHS members, $35 for non-members. The cost of registration includes an archiving starter kit with sample archival materials. Please register in advance by calling 273-8107 x12. Space is limited to 20 participants.
