We are delighted that the Wiener Library are returning to deliver an in-person workshop, after the successful events held here in 2023. This time, attendees will be able to learn about how to care for delicate and precious documents, as well as being able to access the fantastic research knowledge, to which the Wiener staff have access.
This free, one-day event will take place on Sunday 23 February from 10.00 to 3.30, and offers the chance to learn about taking care of the precious documents, photographs, and items that represent your family histories.
Experts from the Library will give practical tips on how best to look after your family archive, with practical demonstrations of safe storage, and advice on making digital copies to preserve your collection for future generations.
As well as this, researchers will be on hand to provide guidance on how to carry out research on family histories connected with the Holocaust. Staff members from SJAC and SJHC will also be presenting on how family history collections are used.
All are welcome, and feel free to attend for all or only part of the session. The event is free, but space is limited so please register in advance: https://wienerholocaustlibrary.org/event/recovery-repair-supporting-jewish-family-histories-of-the-holocaust-in-britain-with-scottish-jewish-heritage-centre-and-the-scottish-jewish-archives-centre/
