The burdensome task of preserving local history has been made easier with new technology. It will be applied to help record and save several valuable historic collections.
A program on digitizing historic photographs, negatives, photo albums, manuscripts, VCRs, home movies, stories, newspaper clippings, books and diaries will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, in the Saratoga Branch Library at 503 West Elm Ave.
The slide show and presentation is sponsored by Saratoga Friends of the Library. It will be presented by local historians Dick and John Perue with the assistance of Sherry McKay, volunteer at the Saratoga Museum.
There is no charge for the program entitled "Hold on to Your Hat", and NOT "Keep it Under Your Hat" as reported last week by Dick Perue.
