Preserving Your Family Memories: Part II (Digital)
Thursday, April 5 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm in WML305Increasingly, we capture moments to remember in digital rather than physical format: we document our lives in digital photographs, videos, social media, email, and websites. In this workshop, Digital Services Librarian Kristen Yarmey will introduce you to the concept of digital preservation. We’ll talk about common misconceptions (for example, why digitizing your photos is not the same as preserving them), some of the major challenges involved in maintaining digital files over time, and some basic strategies you can take to help make your digital memories last. A light lunch will be provided. (Taught by Kristen Yarmey, Weinberg Memorial Library)
