10841949_10152968101446215_200967576621198884_oThe Kentucky Genealogical Society joins the Kentucky Historical Society in hosting a series of free genealogy workshops each month at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History.

This month, KGS & KHS welcomes Mark S. Middleton as he helps us organize and preserve our growing digital collection.

  • Why should a Genealogist digitally archive?

What happens if a Genealogist has a fire or flood in their home? What if a genealogist comes across a great collection of photos, but the relative doesn’t want to give them away? There are many reasons why genealogists need to create and work with digital files. This presentation covers the complete spectrum of capturing media – photos, books, home movies, and audio recordings – then creating computer files from the captured digital material. Files should be created with the best possible equipment.

Mr. Middleton will discuss the hardware capture standards genealogists should use, scanner options, digital cameras, file types, video and audio formats. He will then cover best practices – the step-by-step process  – for each type of capture, backing up and storage options. Archiving involves selecting the material to digitize, capturing, creating the metadata, and creating the back up/archival material. Back-up locations include web sites, CD, DVDs, Hard drives, and new BluRay technology; all are reviewed to compare their benefits and disadvantages.

About the Speaker: Mark S. Middleton holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master’s in Information Systems. He is a certified Project Management Professional and has been been employed in the Information Technology industry for more than 20 years. He is a retired US Army major. Mark actively works with his family on genealogy. Memberships include Ohio Genealogical Society (Life Member), Genealogy Speakers Guild, Project Management Institute, Society of Civil War Families of Ohio, and Settlers and Builders of Ohio Society.

Morning session runs from 10:30-11:30 a.m., followed by a 30 minute break (brown bag lunches welcome.) Second session runs from 12:00-1:00 p.m. Registration for these free workshops is strongly encouraged. However, walk-ins are welcome. Please pre-register by calling the KHS Refdesk at 502-564-1792 x.4460 or by e-mailing us at: khsrefdesk@ky.gov
