Get organized and learn how to preserve your family history collection for the future with presenter Marian Burk Wood.
Ancestors' photos, stories, documents, and heirlooms are part of your family's past, and they deserve to be protected for the sake of future generations. Learn an easy step-by-step process for deciding what to retain in your collection and what to give to relatives or institutions. Also, see how to store family history items safely and find out why and how to write a "genealogical will." Even if there are no apparent heirs for your genealogy, you can prepare today to safeguard and share your family's history for tomorrow.

An experienced genealogy speaker, she has a special interest in helping people document, curate, preserve, and share family history.
