Events › From the Archives: Preserving your Family History

Spring cleaning season is in full swing. Have you organized your closets, basements or attics? If so, you might have found historic family documents. Not sure what to do with these precious materials? 

Join Chicago Public Library for a workshop on how to preserve your family history. Special Collections staff will share tips on how to care for letters, photographs, scrapbooks, digital files, stories, and other materials. There will be plenty of time for questions. Attendees will receive one Archival Starter Kit.

This program is co-sponsored by the Chicago Collections Consortium.
