Digital copies of family photographs and documents play an important role in protecting fragile originals and encourage sharing among family members.  However, digitization is not preservation and the newly created digital resource must also be managed and preserved.  Tammy Hamilton, Hershey Community Archives’ archivist, will discuss issues to consider prior to scanning your personal collections.  The presentation will also provide a basic tutorial on how to scan your items and an explanation of some common scanning terms.
This class will be held in The Hershey Story’s classroom, located on the lower level.
