Saving Family Treasures, will be the subject of a program at the Chesapeake City Branch Library (410-996-1134) on June 15, 2010 from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.
Family treasures are often neglected, frequently tucked away in drawers, trunks and attics. Preserving these heirlooms – items such as marriage certificates, family Bibles, letters, journals, and photos – is important, for they tell us about the past and connect the generations. This talk introduces caretakers to basic methods for preserving and protecting family relics and papers.
