Preservation in the Home

Tuesday, April 24, 1:30 p.m.

The letters, scrapbooks, photographs and digital files we create serve as precious memories of lives lived. It is important not just for you and your family that these materials are preserved for future use, but for the Baton Rouge community at large.

The Library’s Baton Rouge Room will host a talk to introduce basic concepts of preservation for personal archives and explore the library’s preservation resources at the Zachary Branch Library, 1900 Church St., on Tuesday, April 24, at 1:30 p.m.

*Please note: The Library’s newsletter, The Source, incorrectly lists the date as April 4.

For more information, please call (225) 389-4960 or the Zachary Branch Library at 658-1860.
