Preserving Your New York Story: Recording Family Histories with Care

Join the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society (NYG&B) and Queens Memory for a special presentation by oral historian Ambar Wortham.

Wortham invites participants into the thoughtful, tender practice of holding the voices that form who we are. We will cover topics such as what to consider when interviewing living relatives, memorable questions to ask, and methods to create a generative archive to supplement your family history and genealogical research. Whether you’re new to family history or ready to go deeper, you will leave with practical skills, a more intentional approach, and a renewed sense of why this labor of love is worthwhile.

This event is part of the NYG&B’s Preserving Your New York Story series, which offers free sessions for people to digitally preserve their own family history records as well as programming for tracing their family history and connecting with their past.
