Trunk of Troubles

Presented by Heather South, Lead Archivist with the Western Regional Archives, a branch of the State Archives of North Carolina

March 16th, 5 PM at The Marion Library

Conditions that very old items are often kept in may not be the best. How does one care for these older items? How do you store them so they will last for further generations?  Lead Archivist Heather South will share basic care, handling, and storage instructions for taking care of your family documents. “The Trunk of Trouble” uses examples and samples all about the do’s and don’ts of preservation for books, paper, and photographs. It’s informative and fun so come join in on the preservation conversation!
