WIN 141 - Illuminate the Past, Preserve the Pres

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

What kind of lives did your ancestors lead? What are the stories behind the names and dates? How can you preserve the memories of your grandparents and other family members and friends for future generations? How do you create a record of current family activities? This class is designed to introduce you to the methods of genealogical research and living history, along with demonstrations of related techniques such as photograph and document preservation and scrapbooking. With the assistance of consultants trained in these areas, including Linda Talley and Lynne Schuetz of the Johnson County Museum of History, you will apply what you learn to discovering and recording the stories your family (or, if you choose, to a historical Johnson County family which has not yet been researched.) Most class sessions will be primarily interactive so you can practice the techniques presented, supplemented with personalized follow-up assignments. Access to a tape recorder or a video camera will be required for some assignments. An average of one class day per week will be used for field trips to appropriate sites around Johnson County and Indianapolis. Prerequisite: None Fees: $35
