Is it time for spring cleaning? Register below for a free online program with leading archivists of Swedish-American collections.  They will share insights into preserving historical records and dispel some myths about what their work entails and how you can preserve your personal and family collections.

You won’t be surprised to hear there’s been a surge in inquiries from families and organizations who have been at home exploring boxes and computer drives full of documents, photos, recordings, scrapbooks and other historical treasures.  Find out what archivists really think about throwing things away, family bibles, digitizing everything, and more!

Andy Meyer, Director of the F.M. Johnson Archives and Special Collections at North Park University
Lisa Huntsha, Archivist/Librarian, Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center, Augustana College
