In conjunction with its celebration of Ten Years at Green Street, the Tompkins County Public Library will host Paper and Photograph Conservator Michele Hamill for an encore presentation of “Preserving Family Documents and Photographs,” Saturday, November 6 at 2:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.
Hamill, of the Cornell University Library, presented---with rave reviews--- a similar program at the Library in recognition of National Preservation Week in May. The program provides essential information about documents and photographs—including how to reduce deterioration, common condition problems and archival storage solutions.
“Documents and photographs held and loved by individuals and families connect us to the past and enrich our future,” Hamill said. “This program will help people understand what steps to take so that their family treasures can be passed on to future generations.”
The first 25 people to arrive at the program will receive an acid-free, archival storage box (limit one box per household). The boxes were purchased with a grant to the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
