Saving Your History: How to Review and Organize Your “Stuff” to Meet Legal and Personal Needs
presented by Susie R. Bock
Humans create and collect material culture (documents, objects) in the course of living. Establishing control over your material culture can be daunting, but important so you can put your hands on what you need when you need it.
This workshop will:
·Help you sort and evaluate material culture (papers, objects, photographs, audio-visual material) created or collected.
·Advise on storing and caring for the materials to ensure their preservation.
·Advise on donating material to a cultural/historical institution.
These principles and procedures can be used by individuals or groups (such as community organizations).
Susie R. Bock, Coordinator of USM's Special Collections and Director of the Sampson Center for Diversity in Maine, graduated from Bates College in 1983, and went on to get a Master’s in European History and a Master’s in Library Science from Columbia University in 1986. She has 40+ years of experience managing primary materials. She has developed collections preserving the history of Maine's African American, Jewish, and LGBT communities, and managed the University’s manuscripts, rare books, and Archives.
This program is free and open to the public.
Monday, October 6th, at 3pm in the Community Meeting Room
