Planning a family reunion? Make it unforgettable by adding a meaningful and interactive session that brings generations together through the preservation of your shared history. ICA's Executive Director Dr. Holly Witchey will outline a simple step-by-step guide to caring for cherished family items—from old photographs and handwritten letters to textiles, framed artwork, and keepsake objects.

 

Learn practical techniques to protect these treasures from damage and deterioration, and discover fun, accessible ways to involve relatives of all ages in the process. You’ll gain ideas for creating a family archive, organizing an oral history station, labeling photographs (without harming them!), and setting up simple inventory systems—no experience required. You’ll receive templates, activity suggestions, and preservation tips that make it easy to transform your reunion into a celebration of both memory and legacy.

 

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or a multi-day gathering, this program adds depth and meaning to your event while helping ensure that your family’s stories—and the objects that carry them—last for generations to come. Don’t just gather—preserve, celebrate, and connect. Perfect for reunion organizers, family historians, and anyone curious about preserving their past.
