Preserving your photographs and documents

Kristina Blevins the Assistant Director will be presenting this month's genealogy program. On Saturday, February 28th at 10:30, she will discuss methods for preserving your documents and photos. Kristina graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2003 with a B.A. in English specializing in pre-professional writing. She spent a semester as a post-graduate student studying museum practices and interned at the SIUC museum archives in the fall of 2006. She graduated from the University of Kentucky in the fall of 2007 with a Master's in Library and Information Science. During her tenure there she interned in the William T. Young Acquisitions Department, where she spent two days a week helping out in the conservation laboratory tipping-in pages, doing deacidification and humidification of documents, pamphlet sewing, constructing phase boxes, learning triage, and using the sonic welder to encapsulate.
