Putting It All Together

Organizing, Storing, and Sharing Your Genealogy Research

Family history research can produce a lot of documents, photos, and memorabilia. Organizing it is a work in progress and may never be complete, but it’s not a lost cause! This class offers ideas and resources for recording, storing, preserving, displaying and sharing your research. Participants will learn about citing sources, common forms and charts, basic preservation techniques, software options, and other ways to “put it all together.”  This workshop meets on the High Street level of Main Library.

  • Saturday, March 10, 10 am – noon (in Meeting Room 2AB )
