Our Photo Savers / Story Keepers workshop will teach you how to
create an organized family archive that is sheltered from the ravages of time.
Join us LIVE via telephone on Tuesday, August 18th
and you will learn how to:
1. Extend the life of your treasured family photographs
...and stop worrying about whether you're taking good care of them or not.
2. Organize your photos so you can find a specific photograph in minutes
...without tearing apart your closet or attic! And, don't worry -- I'm not gonna tell you to mark each and every single photo on the back. If that was the kind of advice I gave out, they'd never call me "The Practical Archivist."
3. Record the stories behind your photographs
...write them down before they are lost forever. Not only will you have a chance to reflect on your life, you will make your collection even more precious to future generations.
Live class via telephone!

Organize your family archive the way an archivist does. The best part is....it's not complicated. It's just that not many people know or understand what archivists do and how simple it really is.
Photo Savers / Story Keepers
Join Sally Jacobs, The Practical Archivist for an afternoon and get all the information, tips, and tools you need to organize your photos and record the stories behind them before they are forgotten. This half-day workshop covers all the basics of organizing and archiving your photographs, based on the system Sally created for her own family photographs. Learn how to protect your one-of-a-kind treasures from the ravages of time.
Photo Savers - Lose the shoebox.
You will learn -- step-by-step -- how to organize and archive your photographic prints, from "what to keep" to "how to keep." First we will tackle the problem of photos in chaos and how to get control of your collection. Then we will move onto real-world storage techniques and safe handling practices that will extend the life of your treasures. These are simple techniques designed with family collections in mind, and none of them will break the bank.
Story Keepers - Get it in writing.
Everyone knows the popular saying "a photograph is worth 1,000 words." But just imagine how much more valuable your inherited photographs would be if your grandmother wrote down her fondest memories and favorite stories about the people, places and events that were dear to her.
First, you will learn a simple method for organizing your memories so the details will NEVER be lost to time. Then, learn how to write brief but compelling essays about your treasured photographs. This technique is designed specifically for folks who hate to write. Lose your fear of writing while you get in touch with your past in a supportive workshop environment.
