Last Saturday’s (Jan. 5) program at the Delaware Public Archives about preservation of documents and photographs was extremely well received. However, a large number of citizens contacted the Archives to say they couldn’t make it to the presentation. We have attached links to both of the prezi programs presented by Archives staff member Sarah Denison and Government Information Center Deputy Director Mike Mahaffie. Please be aware that these programs were presented along with verbal information provided by the speakers.

Very informative article. Thank you for posting online and for all your efforts in educating individuals on preserving history and historical documents. Our most prized possessions are our memories of our family, our children, and the experiences of our life. Thanks again.
