Workshop will teach how to preserve your family history, stories

Youngstown

Steel Valley Voices: An Ethnic Community Archive will sponsor a free one-hour workshop on preserving family history and stories as part of Polish Youngstown’s annual Polish Day at 2 p.m. Sunday at St. Anne Ukrainian Catholic Church hall, 4310 Kirk Road, Austintown.

The workshop will offer tips and guidelines on how to collect information, write engaging family stories, and preserve and share materials such as photographs, letters and passports.

Steel Valley Voices, a collaboration of Youngstown State University’s Center for Working-Class Studies, the University Archives of Maag Library, the Center for Applied History and the History Department at YSU, preserves and celebrates the ethnic and racial diversity of the Mahoning Valley.

Steel Valley Voices also hosts an online collection featuring letters, photographs, recipes, audio and video recordings.
