Adriane VanSeggelen, the Conservator at the Archives of Ontario, will deliver the virtual presentation, Care and Preservation of Family Heirlooms, on Thursday, December 5, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time. The presentation is hosted by the Oakville Public Library in Ontario.
This presentation is of particular interest to genealogical researchers, and it explores best practices for storing personal treasures. Participants will learn how to care for their family history documents at home, including detailed instructions on proper storage and handling. Our presenter will offer advice about where to acquire archival supplies or when to seek out the help of an independent conservator. This presentation also includes information about digitizing private collections to ensure they will be available for future generations.
