VHS? Floppy disks? Vacation photographs? Everyone has digital materials that hold personal meaning and tell stories about their lives. Archivist Maggie Schreiner came to the Center for Jewish History on December 11, 2019, for a personal digital archiving workshop and learn how to care for and preserve your digital memories! Master the basics of digitizing and caring for your collections of documents, photos, and audiovisual materials. Learn about file formats and storage, straightforward tools and techniques, and common risks and dangers (and how to avoid them!).
This program was supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
