The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library will present “Personal Archiving” on Wednesday, May 24 at 2 p.m. Do you have unsorted boxes of family photographs, letters, VHS tapes, and other things that you’re pretty sure are important but you don’t quite know what to do with them? This virtual program will cover how to organize these items, the best way to preserve them, and how you might even start digitizing them and building a personal or family archive.
