Historical Family Images and Artifacts:

A creative approach to visualizing

In the second part of his presentation, he will facilitate a mini-workshop in which you the participant will use your personal family photographs, artifacts, oral histories and genealogy to create a photo essay about your family. Bring your photos, small artifacts, genealogy charts and other family information.
