Have you ever wondered how to turn boxes of photos, letters, and family documents into a meaningful, usable archive—one that won’t overwhelm you now or frustrate future generations? This beginner-friendly program offers practical guidance for getting started with intention and clarity.
We’ll explore two real-world examples that illustrate thoughtful, sustainable archiving in action: the beautifully preserved Korean War love letters curated by Rosemary Cassie and the multiyear effort to organize and digitize the archives of the Moholy-Nagy Foundation. These case studies will highlight what works, what to avoid, and how to create systems that are easy to maintain and pass along.
Participants will learn approachable strategies for organizing, describing, and digitizing personal or family collections—no advanced technical knowledge required. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to refine your process, you’ll leave with methods that bring order to your materials and preserve your history for years to come.
