Cost: $40.00 per person – this includes morning and afternoon tea.
Lunch is to be organized separately by participants and may be obtained from the Young Services Club, or elsewhere.

To register your intention to attend, please contact Young Regional Library in Lynch Street or email us at [email protected]. Payment will be required after registration. Positions at the workshop are limited to 12 attendees, but if the workshop is fully booked for Saturday, we will consider running a second workshop on Sunday 2nd May from 9.30 am to 4.30 am.
Topics addressed at the workshop include:
• Who am I writing for?
• Where do I begin?
• Organising information
• Using objects and photographs to enhance your family history
• Bringing your family history to life
• Delights, perils, and pitfalls of publishing — whose story?
At the workshop, participants will:
• Explore creative ways to write and organise family history or life stories
• Peruse examples of family histories to see how they are structured
• Discuss ways of publishing family histories
For the Workshop, participants are asked to bring:
• Writing paper, pens, coloured pencils, or textas
• A photo of a relative or ancestor you would like to write about
• A photo of a place you would like to write about
• A memento or object that has some family significance
The Fine Print
As part of the workshop, participants are required to complete a questionnaire and email it to the workshop presenter two weeks before the workshop. The questionnaire will identify the participant’s interests and how well-developed their project may be.
