[Classifieds] [MBL classifieds] Mass Memories- Participants Wanted!

[MBL Classifieds]

Remember this date ... Saturday, September 26th, 2009 . Why? Because that is the day that the Mass. Memories Roadshow comes to the Falmouth Public Library! You can be part of Massachusetts history by contributing family photos to a state-wide digital archive documenting local history. The Mass. Memories Road Show at UMass Boston is creating a digital portrait of the Commonwealth that tells the story of cities and towns through family photographs and stories. 

On Saturday, September 26th, current and former residents of Falmouth are invited to bring to the Road Show two or three photos that represent you, your families and/or our community, whether very recently or generations ago. Any photos are welcome: family reunions, special occasions, snapshots, candids, weddings, military service, etc. Old or new—originals preferred. The photos will be scanned onsite, and the originals immediately returned to their owners. There will also be a video area where you can tell a brief story about your photos on camera. All photos will become part of a state-wide digital archive at: www.MassMemories.net . 

Our partners for this project are FCTV, the Falmouth Historical Society, and the MBLWHOI Library. We encourage everyone to bring photos that day. There will be a sign-up sheet at the Falmouth Public Library reference desk or you can just drop by. The Roadshow will be here from 11:00-4:00 on Saturday, September 26th. We hope you will bring your photos! Oh and if you can’t be there you can add photos to our Falmouth Mass. Memories flickr page !
