Old scrapbooks, family letters, photographs and other precious reminders of our past, are items that the Georgetown County Library works daily to preserve. But what about your personal family photos, and items of the past? How do you preserve them for future generations?
"We want to teach people that preservation can be done by anyone and the benefit is long lasting", said library director, Dwight McInvaill. "We believe the history of Georgetown is very important, from the rice planters and industrialists to the man working at the Paper Mill. No one should be forgotten and we try to preserve as much as we can at the library. But sometimes, the most important history is still waiting to be told. So, we encourage everyone to come to the library and learn how to save their family history".
