During this interruption of our normal working day, Nicole Menchise is going to be creating short (30-40 minute), live Zoom ‘workshops’.  This will be a combination webinar, with slides shared on the screen, and live interaction with her using items from her own home collection.

These webinars are for those interested in getting some practical, professional advice about how to preserve your personal family archives, or are looking to learn something to bring back to their organizations.  Plan to budget 60 minutes for each meeting in order to have ample time to cover the topic and to answer comments and questions during and after the webinar.

Webinars free and available to all.  No registration needed.

Webinars will be recorded live.  Access to the recordings will be available later on the LILRC website.  See details below:
