[BCMA] Fascinating Photo and Publishing Workshops at Museum at Campbell River

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

On Thursday, May 3, the Museum will be offering two exceptional workshops
running concurrently from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Both will include coffee
breaks and lunch.   

If you have needed any help in managing your photo collection, facilitator
and Family History consultant Brenda Smith is offering a workshop entitled
'Photo Collections: Share the Treasure.'  Smith will include an overview of
the history of photographs and photographers, and will discuss the evolution
of image technology.  She will also address conservation concerns and
methods, and how to manage your collection. 

 

The other workshop entitled 'Taking Your Story to Print' is being presented
by local author and publisher Jocelyn Reekie.  This is a terrific
opportunity to find out about the process of self-publishing, and how to get
your writing into print.  Reekie will cover such topics as: getting a
manuscript ready, editing and design options, and choosing from the range of
publishing options available.  As part of the presentation, Catherine
Gilbert, published author and promotions coordinator for the Museum, will
offer suggestions on how to promote your work and get it noticed.

 

As part of this workshop, there will be a panel discussion in the afternoon
on the variety of choices and experiences that authors and publishers
encounter.  The panel will be lead by Moderator Jean Wilson, formerly of UBC
Press.  The participating panelists are from the publishing world and
include Ann Kask of Campbell River's Ptarmigan Press. 

 The workshops are being offered as part of the British Columbia Historical
Federation (BCHF) Conference taking place from May 3rd to 6th, and the
public is welcome to register.  

 

 The cost for either workshop is $50 per person, or $40 for members of the
BCHF.  For further information and to register call the Museum at
250-287-3103 or register online through the Museum website www.crmuseum.ca.
