If you are like many Wisconsinites, your family history has gradually moved from analog (photographs, letters, keepsakes) to electronic (audio, film, and video) to digital (websites, social-media accounts, files in the cloud). Learn how to ensure your family’s A/V and digital history doesn’t disappear in a pile of tape dust or a cloud of pixels!

Her professional interests include copyright, scholarly communication, and digital preservation.
