A guided 8-week cohort to help individuals and families organize, preserve, and activate the historical materials they hold. Fall cohort begins Sep. 23!
You Have the History. We Help You Shape the Legacy.
Old photographs. Letters. Papers tucked in boxes. Digital files without labels. You know they’re important, but where do you start?
HeritEdge Legacy Lab is designed for individuals and families who want to bring order, meaning, and preservation to their personal collections without the overwhelm.
This course blends archival best practices with hands-on guidance so you can confidently move from “I should do something with all this…” to “Our archives are organized and stored properly.”
What the Lab Covers
Each week builds your skills and your confidence. You’ll walk away with a usable collection and a clearer plan for preserving your family’s story. Topics include:
- Setting your archival goals
- Surveying, sorting, and prioritizing materials
- Describing, labeling, and organizing physical items
- Caring for paper, photos, and keepsakes
- Storytelling, family dynamics, and ethical considerations
- Planning for access, use, and long-term care
