Archives Clinic
Cherished photographs stuck together? Trying to salvage your grandparent’s old love letters from WWII or precious video of your baby’s first steps? Stop by the annual Archives Clinic at the Austin History Center, 810 Guadalupe Street, on Saturday, November 1 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. to learn how to make those memories last for lifetimes. Bring in your special materials and get advice on topics ranging from organization to preservation of papers, photographs, scrapbooks, home video and audio recordings, electronic records, and other documents. Students and faculty from the School of Information at the University of Texas, along with staff archivists from the Austin History Center and other area archives, will be on hand to assess your materials and tell you what it takes to preserve them. Free literature will also be available. This free preservation workshop is part of Archives Week, sponsored by University of Texas student chapter of the Society of American Archivists and the Austin History Center, Austin Public Library. For more information please call (512) 974-7482 or visit www.cityofaustin.org/library/ahc.
