-'''Seminar: '''"Family History in a Digital Future"
-'''Description: '''As we shift toward an increasingly digital world, relics from the past, like photo albums and vintage videos are at risk of disappearing. We are at a pivotal point where bridging our tangible past to our pixelated present is still possible, but it's our responsibility to act now.  You'll learn how to preserve the memories stored in family photo albums, letters, scrapbooks, videos and more as a means to enrich your family legacy, using online technology and resources. Don't risk leaving future generations without all the memories that make up where they came from. (Video presenter: Sharleen Reyes. '''Class level:''' All)
