WAGS General Meeting
Saturday, November 16, 2024
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm PST
 
Speaker:  Sara Cochran
Topic:  From a Box in the Closet to a Treasured Heirloom - Organizing and Digitizing Your Family Photos
 
Sorensen Library Meeting Room
6934 Broadway Ave, Whittier CA 90606
+ Zoom
 
​Photos remain at the root of Sara's love of family history.  These precious glimpses into the lives of our ancestors are a treasure in their own right, and without proper care they will be lost to time.  Today, Sara will provide some insight into the history of the photograph and provide strategies for organizing your own photo collections so that both current and future generations can enjoy them.
 
The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
