The second personal archiving + dc1968 project workshop takes place Tuesday 18 July, 6:30pm-7:30pm, at the Mount Pleasant Library, 3160 16th St. NW, 202-671-3121.

Come hear Marya McQuirter share how she is using photographs and other ephemera preserved by Washingtonians to digitally curate a 50-year retrospective on DC in 1968.  And let Jamila Felton show you how to preserve your personal material, including how to make digital copies with a scanner.

We invite you to bring your 1968 material to be scanned at the event.
