This interactive workshop presented by Priceless Preservation of Ann Arbor offers tips to navigating the confusing world of preserving family photos, movies, and slides.

Among other things, you'll learn what digital formats to avoid, how commonly used scrapbooking items actually put your items in danger, and how to digitize your legacy media properly. Participants are encouraged to bring mementos for personal evaluations and consultations.
