What to throw away and what to keep:
Organizing your community records and family keepsakes
Let’s be honest, we can’t keep everything! This session will prepare you to evaluate your collections and determine what to preserve. Be ready for lively conversation about saving or discarding materials, considering who will use the collection, and exploring options for the things you cannot keep. We present strategies and exercises to help you take stock of your papers, photos, digital files, books, and other historical materials and build a collection that you can manage.
This in-person event was FREE and open to all!
The University of Washington Libraries and the Ethnic Heritage Council have partnered to create We Are History Keepers! – an ongoing series of workshops on archiving the cultural and historical records of ethnic communities and families in the Pacific Northwest. The free, day-long workshops are hosted in communities around the Puget Sound in collaboration with local ethnic and historical associations. Workshop sessions are led by archivists and information specialists from the University of Washington Libraries and other organizations who teach best practices and help build skills related to preserving historical records.
Explore this website to learn about past workshops as well as upcoming events.
Workshops are always free and open to the public and pre-registration is encouraged so that we can meet your needs.
We Are History Keepers is a collaboration between the University of Washington Libraries, the Ethnic Heritage Council, and regional community organizations. Partial funding is provided by 4Culture.
