Memory Mysteries Solved! – Personal Archives Show and Tell
Calling all sleuths! Do you have a personal detective story you would like to share? Whether you’ve discovered family papers in the attic, returned a lost artifact to its owner, or constructed your family tree, there are many ways to investigate and preserve human memories. Join us to share a scrapbook, photographs, letter, or other artifact from your personal or family archives, and what it means to you. In this guided session, archivists Jeanie Pai and Tomasz Gubernat will share their own stories of discovery, as well as offer tips and tricks for how to preserve your collections at home. Listeners also welcome!
