About this event


Mark Thompson
ATTENDANCE IS VIA ZOOM ONLY.

Do you have boxes of family photos gathering dust, or worse, turning to dust? Are you worried about losing precious memories? It's time to preserve your family's history! 

Join Mark Thompson for a practical workshop for family historians who want to create high-quality digital copies of their photos. Mark will show you practical techniques for capturing, organizing, and sharing your family photos.  Learn how you can get great results with the tools you already have. 

You'll learn: 
  • How to get high-quality digital copies of your photos  
  • Equipment options from smartphone cameras to flatbed scanners 
  • Simple lighting and camera tips that make a big difference 
  • Easy ways to organize your digital files so you can find what you need 
  • How to share your digitized photos with family members 
You'll leave with practical skills and confidence to start preserving your family photos right away, whether you're working with a small collection or planning a larger project. 

Mark Thompson is a professional genealogist and educator who helps family historians preserve and organize their collections. Experienced in both technology and genealogy, Mark is known for making technical topics easy to understand for family historians of all levels.
