Accidents Happen: Protecting and Saving Family Treasures, with Nancy E. Kraft of the University of Iowa Libraries
Are your family treasures stored safely in your home or elsewhere?  How do you save your photos when they’ve been submerged in flood water?  What do you do if your books smell mildewy?  What if your basement floods or worse? Attend this session to learn answers to these questions and more.  Full description

The webcast starts at 2:00 PM in the Digital Instruction Resource Center (DIRC), 14N-132.  This event is free and open to the public.
