CGS is very glad to be the first organization in northern California to host a scanning event that includes unlimited scanning of photos, documents, and videos, and a short class on uncovering family stories hidden in your shoeboxes and closets. 

With the recent launch of 1000Memories's Shoebox app for iPhone, it's now easier to digitize photos and documents. This Shoebox app can auto-detect the edges of a photo and then quickly crop and straighten accordingly. Users can then add any details or information written on the back of old photos - such as dates, names, and locations - before uploading to 1000memories.com, where it can be organized, shared and discovered by friends and family.

1000Memories.com will furnish iPhones to participants to use in the workshop. If you own an iPhone or iPad2 please bring it.

There are two sessions:

Session one: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Session one is sold out.
Session two: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Session two is sold out.

There is no limit on the number of photos or documents you may bring to the workshop!

Space is limited. Each session is limited to 15 participants and is open to CGS Members.

 Pre-registration is required and changing sessions may not be allowed.

Registration confirmations will be sent to the first 15 participants of each session who register. Additional names will be collected and placed on a waiting list in case of cancellations.

Walk-ins will not be admitted.
