April 30, 2010 – On Monday, May 10 from 10am-3pm, the Library of Congress will celebrate the first national Preservation Week by hosting Personal Archiving Day. Library staff will provide advice on how to safeguard digital and traditional photos, documents, recordings and more. The Library's preservation experts will talk directly with individuals about managing their materials in all formats, including e-mail, home movies, digital photographs, and recorded sound. For security reasons, visitors are asked not to bring their collection materials to the Library; no appraisals will be provided. Preservation Week is sponsored by the Library of Congress, American Library Association, Institute of Museum and Library Services, and others, in order to highlight libraries and collecting institutions as good sources for preservation information.
