Durham presentation offers tips on preserving heirlooms

Everyone has family heirlooms and personal collections that are precious and important to present and future generations. But what are the best ways to care for them? Correct care, handling, and storage of your treasures will help to ensure that they are available for generations.

Becky Putzer, collection manager for The Durham Museum, will visit UNMC this month to provide tips and tricks on how to extend the life of your mementos and treasures and properly preserve and protect your family’s history in her presentation, “Preserving Your Family Treasures.”

Her May 31 presentation will start at noon in Room 2010 of the Sorrell Center.

The event is offered through the Time Travelers program, which provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students, and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus. Employees are encouraged to bring their lunch.
