A virtual presentation called “Preserving Family History, Experiences, and Stories From the Pandemic,” by Paula Stuart-Warren on Thursday, May 14, will provide tips on how you can document your own story during the time of the COVID pandemic. Attendees will think about what they want to preserve for the future to tell people what life was like for them during this time. Ideas will include documenting experiences for yourself, children and even your pets. Topics will range from online family get-togethers and work meetings, to signs in windows, sidewalk art, journaling and photographs. Resources for parents that have now found themselves in the role of teacher will also be covered. Additional resources will be provided to discuss how local historic organizations can benefit from your story. Paula Stuart-Warren is a genealogical and historical researcher, lecturer and research coach. Registration is required to receive the meeting room invite and passcode.
