In celebration of American Archives Month, the Friends of the Western
Maryland Room invite you to attend Protect Your Image:  Caring for
Photographs presented by Donna M. Wells at Washington County Free Library on
Sunday, October 11, from 2-4 p.m.

Ms. Wells is a photo historian with a special interest and expertise in
local African-American history.  Her previous positions include:  Prints and
Photographs Librarian at Howard University's Moorland-Spingarn Research

of Science, archivist for Gallaudet University, and photo librarian at the
