Workshop | Caring for Your Keepsakes

Many of us have objects of deep personal significance in our homes–items such as books, artwork, military memorabilia, religious items, textiles, and of course photographs. Maybe they are on display in a china cabinet, stashed in an attic, or are something you use regularly. Whether handed down over generations, or the start of a new tradition, these items are treasures that we hope to preserve. Come learn some simple and inexpensive techniques that you can use at home to keep your heirlooms safe. Participants are encouraged to come with questions about the unique treasures in their households.
