"Image Archivist at Work" Day (the Sequel) -- Oct. 7


The theme for Archives Month 2009 is “Visions of Yesterday, Memories for Tomorrow.”

“Image Archivist at Work” Day
Wed., October 7th
10 am until Noon ; 2 pm until 4 pm

Watch staff perform basic preservation work on images drawn from the Lucille Hasell Culp Collection. The demonstration is free and open to anyone over age 12 with an interest in photography or photographs preservation.

Celeste Wiley, Image Archivist, (pictured above with some of last year's attendees) will offer advice to participants about how to properly care for your personal photographs. You can bring a photograph or two from home to give her a better idea of condition of the actual image.

This demonstration is on a first come, first served, space available basis.

The demonstration is part of the third annual South Carolina Archives Month Celebration.
