Workshop: Personal Archiving with Sierra King

Description: Your memories are important to the larger history of your family and your legacy. Your home and place of living becomes filled with things that over time deserve a bit more care than expected. This workshop is ideal for you if you are ready to begin the journey of preserving your memories guided by implementing new habits and routines into your daily life. Learn how to care for photographs, documents and other materials over time rather than being overwhelmed with a box of things too heavy to carry. You are encouraged to attend with a small sample of digital and/or physical photographs and documents to process in real time.
