Event Details

Digital preservation is about more than simply backing up your files—it’s about ensuring your family’s stories and research remain accessible for generations to come. Family History Librarian EvaAnne Johnson will guide participants through the key principles and practical steps of digital archiving, from organizing and naming digital files to choosing the best formats and storage methods. Whether you’re a seasoned genealogist or just beginning your research, this program will help you build a long-term preservation plan for your digital family history collections.

Join Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month (Sep-May) to hear a free genealogy speaker and learn new ways to find YOUR family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m. followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m. followed shortly by the FREE educational presenter.
