How to preserve your past: Workshop on caring for your own photographs and archives at home

Bring along 5-10 items from your own collection. These could be photographic prints, albums, scrapbooks and other related materials.

Join Churchill Archives Centre and independent community archivist and artist educator Cassia Clarke for a practical, hands-on session designed to equip you with mindful and practical approaches to handle, store and preserve your personal photographs and ephemera at home. The session will blend compassionate conservation principles with practical and sustainable methodologies. 

The workshop will include sessions on the purpose, handling, documentation and storage of your own archives. There will also be a display of example archival materials from Churchill Archives Centre collections such as scrapbooks and photograph albums.

If you sign-up for this event we may contact you with further details before the day. 

This event is supported by Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination.

The Archives Centre Reading Room (where the display will be) is located on the first floor, with access by stairs or lift. Please let us know in advance if you would not be able to evacuate via the stairs in an emergency.
