Preserving Paper & Photograph Collections with Marietta Carr

Photographs, letters, diaries, and other important documents are cherished pieces of a family’s history, but they can also be a challenge to preserve and maintain for future generations. Preserving your family papers can assist relatives and friends in tracing and understanding your family’s history and connections to local & community history.

Marietta Carr, Librarian/Archivist at the Schenectady County Historical Society, will give a presentation on preservation techniques you can use for your family’s archives—including storage, handling, digitization, and organization.
