Artifacts, whether found in museums, our community, or our homes, offer glimpses into the past. Be they documents, photographs, books, or clothing, as custodians of our history, we're faced with how to maintain these items. Professional conservator Kennis Kim tells us how.

Topics discussed include: creating an accession list; the nature of conservation, restoration, and preservation; deciding on display, storage, or using the artifact; common threats such as light, humidity, insects, and rodents; and when to call in a professional. Here is what is needed to determine what can be done to preserve precious articles for future generations.

There will also be a short presentation by Branch member Marian Press on "Using the databases on the TPL web site".

Please note: There will be a $5.00 charge at the door for non-members of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
