FAQs: You’ve Got Questions, I’ve Got Answers
What is family archiving?
Think about your oldest family photo. Is it a picture of your grandparents? Great-grandparents? Older than that?
That photo only exists because someone thought it was important enough to keep. The moment captured in the picture has passed & the person may be gone. If you don’t care for the photograph, future generations will never be able to “see” that person — to know what they look like — to feel that connection.
Family archiving is about caring for photos and documents from past generations so that people in the future can be connected to people in the past.
I only have a few things. That's not an archive, is it?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, each item is even more significant because you don’t have many of them!
I'm new to family archiving. How will your courses help me?
My courses are for everyone, especially beginners!
You’ll learn the same methods, techniques, and best practices that archivists use but I’ll explain them in plain English. I’ll guide you through each process step-by-step, so it’s easy to understand and implement.
How do your online family archiving courses work?
Keeping the Past Academy courses are hosted on a user-friendly platform called Teachable. Once you enroll, you’ll gain access to a secure student dashboard with video lessons and downloadable resources. You can study at your own pace and revisit the content as needed.
Are your courses self-paced, or do they have set schedules?
My courses are self-paced, so you can view the lessons whenever it works for you.
The course sounds like it might be a lot of work. Do I have time for this?
You can do the courses entirely at your own pace. Study at your convenience, learning with short, focused lessons, even in small pockets of time. Take breaks as needed and resume right where you left off.
And, as crazy as it sounds, I KNOW there is someone in the future who will want to see and share the photos and documents that you have today. They will thank you for making time!
Do I need special software or equipment to take one of the online courses?
Nope! To access a course, all you need is a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection.
How long do I have access to the course?
You have access to the course for at least one year or for as long as I continue to offer the course. You can revisit lessons and review the resources. You’ll also get free access to any updates to the content that I make along the way! If I do retire the course, I’ll give you advance notice so that you can download any of the course resources you want to keep on hand.
What if I don’t think I can spend the money on a course right now?
You can enroll in a course anytime—as long as it hasn’t been retired.
If you decide a course isn’t the right thing for you right now, you can still learn a lot from my blog and free resources. Get on the List and I’ll let you know about my latest blog posts and free checklists, cheat sheets, and how-to guides.
What if I decide the course isn't for me after I purchase it?
I offer a 14-day money back guarantee. If you decide the course isn’t for you, just contact me with a brief explanation why you think that’s the case. You’ll get a full refund.
