A photograph preservation workshop is being planned for Monday, November 20th in Craigmont, Idaho. It will be hosted by the Ilo-Vollmer Historical Society in conjunction with the quarterly Lewis County Historical Society meeting.
Beth Erdey, Collections Manager and Research Center Director at Nez Perce National Historical Park in Spalding will present the workshop entitled Identifying and Caring for Your Old Photographs. She will explain the history of photography and photographic formats and processes and how to organize, store, and handle old photos.
The workshop is free but pre-registration is required. Following the workshop, a lunch consisting of assorted sandwiches, fruit, chips and cookies will be served. The cost for lunch is $5.00 and must be paid in advance so that organizers know how many to plan for. Everyone is invited and encouraged to stay for lunch and get acquainted with others in attendance.
