From Research to Story: Writing and Sharing your Family History with author and archivist Sonia NicholsonSaturday June 13, 1 - 3pm
Tickets: $20
Location: Montrose Schoolhouse
You've compiled the names, dates, and places and gathered photographs. But how do you transform those facts and images into an engaging story?
In this workshop, we will review archival resources and types of materials to enrich your family story. Going beyond basic genealogical information, we will also explore setting, voice, and the use of nostalgia and details to add colour to your writing. We will also look at how to bring these elements together through real examples of strong storytelling from museums and archives, family historians, and other sources. Finally, we will discuss paths and platforms for sharing your story, from digital, no- or low-cost options, to printing and publishing.
