Preservation Week celebrates the physical preservation of library and archival materials. But, often just as important, is the preservation of information. So much information can be lost due to changes in common writing styles over the years. This program will cover helpful ways to read historic handwritten documents, how to transcribe and abstract information from those documents, and preservation tips for protecting handwritten materials.
