How do I look after my documents and family history?

  • 6th October 2018

We have a new workshop, led by our Conservator, Rhonda, who you may have met on our tours as she demonstrated caring for our precious documents and books. This workshop will help you with caring for and cleaning your own documents. We’ve had a number of requests for guidance on how people can look after their own family papers and records, and Rhonda will share some advice as well as getting participants to have a go at cleaning their own documents.

The introductory workshop on how to clean, store and care for your paper documents and records to keep them safe for years to come. A hands-on chance to clean your own documents before placing them in archival folders and boxes to keep them safe.

The workshop takes place on Friday 19 October 10am-1pm. It costs £40 including materials, and can be booked at https://e-services.worcestershire.gov.uk/LibraryEvents/EventDetails.aspx?id=568.
