Family Bible Records Preservation Workshop

Take time to preserve your family’s history!

A Family Bible Records Preservation Workshop will be offered by the Lily of the Cahaba Chapter – Daughters of the American Revolution from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. The Birmingham Public Library will host the event on the First Floor of the Southern History Department, 2100 Park Place, Birmingham.

The goal of the event is to preserve the genealogical or family history records that are recorded in family Bibles.  Digital images of the appropriate pages will be made without damage or pressure applied to the Bibles using new digital technology to protect the books.  The images will be submitted to the genealogical library of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as well as other archival sources so that these records are not lost. 

The Bible remains with the owner and digital images will be provided at no charge to those who bring Bible records for preservation.  The goal is to preserve these valuable records for future generations in the event that the Bible deteriorates or is lost in the future.

The workshop and the digital images are free.  Registration is encouraged, but not required, with an email to lilyofthecahaba@gmail.com.  Questions may be submitted to the same email address.
