This past Friday, The Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Archives and The Intangible Cultural Heritage Office provided a digitization workshop in St. John's. This workshop focused on digitizing family cookbooks and handwritten recipes and recipe cards. Participants were encouraged to bring along their own family collections to share and scan. Presenters Mary Ellen Wright (ANLA) and Nicole Penney (ICH-HFNL) led this hands on workshop, which taught participants how to create and preserve digital copies of their documents. We also discussed how to best preserve the original copies of these important family and community heirlooms.
