Do you have your grandad’s Poll Tax Certificate, your granny’s cheung saam, old war bonds or your Association’s minutes? Do you use your phone or digital camera to take photos? How do we keep them all safe for future generations?
Family books, photographs and papers connect us to our ancestors, their lives, and thoughts. They are an invaluable resource for future generations. Vicki-Anne Heikell, Alexander Turnbull Library’s Field Conservator will present a seminar to help you care for your own collections, and those of your community organisations. Participants are encouraged to bring a family item to the workshop. There will be opportunities for one-on-one conservation advice on your treasures and hands-on practical activities.
The second session will talk about managing your digital files. During this session we will talk about why we need to care for digital files, what good file management looks like, the care and handling of physical storage media like USB sticks and CDs, as well as good practice in file naming, file organisation, back-ups, and using the cloud.
Have you been taking meeting notes and saving them to your computer for years? Do you share interesting snippets on Facebook or email your friends and family? If the answer is yes, then welcome to the wonderful world of personal digital archiving. This is a session for you.
