Using Everyday Objects, Ephemera, and Heirlooms to Tell a Family Story
Unlock the deeper truths of your family stories by exploring the overlooked details of everyday life. Join us for an enlightening presentation with Elizabeth Mosier, a seasoned volunteer historical archaeologist with seven years of experience at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park Archeology Laboratory.
Learn how to incorporate material culture—everyday objects, heirlooms, and artifacts—into your personal narratives. Elizabeth will guide you on how these items can help recover, repair, and reclaim personal history that might otherwise be lost.
In this Webinar, discover how small things can tell larger stories and place your personal history within a cultural and historical context. Don’t miss this opportunity to enrich your storytelling.
Author Elizabeth Mosier logged 1,000 volunteer hours processing colonial-era artifacts at Philadelphia’s Independence National Park Archeology Laboratory to write Excavating Memory: Archaeology and Home (New Rivers Press, 2019). Retired from teaching creative writing at Bryn Mawr College, she has presented on the role of artifacts in storytelling for audiences including memoirists, genealogists, and hospice and palliative care clinicians at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School.
