Ready to keep your family photos, letters, or treasured keepsakes safe for years to come? Our Preserve‑it Kits give you the tools to start protecting your memories at home. This program is part of the City of Fairfax Regional Library's Preservation Celebration; Preservation Week is April 26 - May 2.

Each kit includes archival essentials: a letter-size document box, acid-free folders and interleaving paper, polyethylene bags (great for sheet music, comic books, magazines, etc.), gloves, and a practical guide full of tips for caring for your personal collections.

Register, then pick up your kit at the Virginia Room information desk, on the 2nd floor of the City of Fairfax Regional Branch.

While you’re here, explore how the Virginia Room preserves our special collections, and check out our Memory Depot, a do-it-yourself (DIY) station which enables you to digitize materials including photos, slides, VHS, audio and Hi8 video cassettes.
