What happens to our digital presence after we pass? How do we preserve it for future generations? Archivist and genealogy consultant Rhonda Chadwick will guide us on saving emails, Facebook posts, word documents, pictures, and more for our own use and to create a digital legacy.  She will touch on the best file formats for long term preservation and how to save content from our email, social media, etc. She will also go over saving audio and video files and digitization of old VHS tapes, papers, photographs, and books. Learning these tools will not only help build and pass on your legacy, but ensure that there will be a historical record of how people lived in the early twenty-first century.    Rhonda Chadwick, author of Secrets from the Stacks: An archivist reveals how to store, digitize, and preserve documents to create a family archive and leave a personal legacy, will be our special guest speaker. Free and open to the public. Made possible by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council, with funding from the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room. As a trained archivist, Rhonda has worked at numerous libraries, archives, and museums throughout southern New England including the Rhode Island Historical Society, The John Hay Library at Brown University, The Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, The Rhode Island School of Design, and The American Textile History Museum in Lowell, MA. She has a dual MLIS/Archives Management and MA History degree. She is the owner of a personal history business named after her grandmother and great-grandmother called LenaSalina Legacy Preservation. The mission of LenaSalina is to teach people about long-term preservation and archival storage. She gives library lectures throughout New England teaching patrons how to store material items such as photographs, books, and textiles, how to create a digital legacy, how to organize materials for better retrieval, and finding creative ways of telling family and personal stories

What is Death Cafe?It’s an international movement supporting open conversation about mortality. Join our very own group in Holyoke. Quoted from the Death Cafe Webpage: “At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.Our objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.”
