West Hartford Forum To Focus On Preserving Family History

WEST HARTFORD, CT — While memories always live on in our heads, sometimes it is best to preserve more concrete evidence of our family's past.

The West Hartford Public Library this Saturday is hosting a special program aimed at helping folks do just that.

Guests are invited to join local history librarian Brett Freiburger for an informative and interactive session to learn how best to care for the history of our families for future generations.

It will take place Saturday, March 1, at 1 p.m., at the Noah Webster Library meeting room, 20 S. Main St., West Hartford.

The program will cover works on paper, photographs, audio recordings, home movies, and digital content.

Participants will also be given a guided tour of the equipment in Studio 20 South and the Local History Collections.

"Preserving your family’s history can be a daunting task when faced with decades, or even centuries, of heirlooms telling the story of you," wrote the library in an announcement.
