<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Are
your family pictures jammed in a drawer or in albums but unlabeled? Are
your albums archivally safe? Is the family bible the only place your
ancestors’ names are listed and even that is out of date? Will your
descendants open a closet and find a special wedding gown or quilt, but not
know whose it was or why it’s special? Are the old family letters
in a shoe box in the attic? Are you thinking about writing or taping the
stories of your youth and of other members of the family who died before your
descendants were born? If you answered “yes” to any of these,
then you need to attend the popular introductory workshop “How to be a
Good Ancestor: Collecting and Preserving Your Family History, Stories,
Photographs, and Artifacts” presented by the Oberlin Heritage
Center on Saturday, November 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Oberlin
Depot (240 South Main Street). Sessions are led by Oberlin Heritage
Center Collections Assistant Prue Richards and Librarian/Genealogist Pat
Holsworth. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>The
workshop will be given in two parts, and participants may register for the
entire day, or choose to attend only the morning or the afternoon
session. Part I will address proper care of artifacts, documents,
textiles and photographs, and will run from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Part II
continues from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and provides guidance on preserving family
histories, genealogy, and oral history. Lunch with the presenters takes
place from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. All participants will receive a folder of
resource materials to take home with them. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Pre-registration
is required. There is a fee of $55 for the full day ($50 for Oberlin
Heritage Center members), which includes lunch and an optional 30-minute
individual follow-up consultation, to be scheduled at a later date with one of
the instructors. Those who choose to attend Part I only or Part II only
will pay $35 ($30 for Oberlin Heritage Center members). If you wish to
add lunch to one part or the other, the cost is an additional $10. Those
who wish to attend may register online at <a
