Discover practical, beginner-friendly ways to organize, preserve, and make accessible your photos, documents, videos, and memorabilia during our monthly Personal Archiving Series. Each month will feature a stand-alone topic including organizing photos, scanning and digitizing your media, and sharing your collections with family. Make sure to check our calendar for monthly features.

February's Topic: Nobody Wants My Stuff. What really happens to our photos, papers, and keepsakes and how do we make sure what matters is passed on? This session explores why legacy is about meaning, not volume, and includes a guided brainstorming discussion on creative ways to share and preserve personal history beyond the "stuff." Note: No food allowed in the studio and patrons between 13 - 17 must be accompanied by an adult. Register for this event online.
