Saving Family Mementos:Part 2 Emergency Preparedness
February 4 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Have you ever played the ‘what if’ game, where you’re asked to decide what you would grab if you had to leaver your house quickly? Would photos be on your short list? Which ones? Are they someplace where you could gather them quickly or are they scattered throughout your house? Or do you even know where they are?
Learn about creating a “Go Bag of Memories,” including what to use to make your memories portable, how to decide what to include, and where to keep it ‘just in case.’
Carolynn Duffy, through her business, Kinship Matters, is a genealogist and photo organizer in Washington County, with fifteen years professional experience helping to create a rich and complete legacy for clients and their family, through researching, documenting, preserving, and archiving clients’ personal histories, photos, heirlooms, and memorabilia. She knows firsthand how irreplaceable and meaningful photos can be; how important it is for them to be organized
and labeled in order to keep them from becoming a pile of strangers in a box; and how critical where they are stored is to keeping them safe, accessible, and preserved for now and future generations. She also knows what it’s like to inherit objects that family referred to as “heirlooms,” but to have no idea of the meaning behind the memento.
