PCI Webinar with Mitchell Friedman Developing Your Personal Archive Online
Personal archiving involves capturing and protecting your “living history” to ensure that your experiences remain available for the duration life – and for the benefit of future generations. Whether your history is contains in overflowing physical boxes or a sprawling digital footprint, archival principles provide a roadmap to transform these materials from a stuff to be filed pile into your organized legacy.
This webinar will teach you how to get started putting together your personal archive, allowing you to manage your memories methodically.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Determine which items have enduring informational, evidentiary, or intrinsic significance to their personal narrative
- Organize their collection
- Identify appropriate preservation guidelines for non-digital media
- Begin to outline a digital storage strategy, including social media
