The Andrew County Museum wants to teach people how to preserve their paper histories.

Curator of Collections, Brittany Venturella plans to shares basic information on how to preserve paper documents; that includes information on how temperature and sunlight can impact family treasures.

“Andrew County Museum provides fee-based genealogy and historical research services; in tandem with this service we work to educate people on how to preserve their family documents,” said Cathy Campbell Museum Director. “Visitors are often unaware about how collections are managed, this is a format for the Curator of Collections to bring insight to the public on this topic.”

The presentation will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16th at the Andrew County Museum located at 202 E. Duncan Drive. The course is free and open to the public. Call 816-324-4720 for more information.
