Senior2Senior: Protect Your Digital Legacy

[In-Person] 10:30 am Tuesday March 30th
Leave Your Legacy, with Paul Gentile of Senior2Senior

This workshop will encompass preparing, protecting, and passing on one of your most important possessions: your digital legacy. Topics will include protecting your digital (online) assets, organizing, protecting, and sharing your irreplaceable photos, and creating and preserving our wishes, values, history, and beliefs (memory books and legacy letters.) 

The class will be led by Senior2Senior instructor Paul Gentile, whose career at Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation focused in the areas of strategic planning and IT. While in upstate New York, he worked at Cornell University and helped establish their first digital archiving conservation project before moving to an administrative position in the School of Engineering. A Cape Cod resident since 1999, he has worked at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in IT. Most recently, he held the position of Energy Coordinator for the Town of Falmouth where he still coordinates various energy-related projects. He has taught classes at WHOI, the Oak Bluffs Public Library, Mashpee Senior Center, Falmouth New Comers Club, Falmouth Community School,  Barnstable Senior Center and the Town of Falmouth. 

This in-person event will take place at the Vineyard Haven Library, lower level.

Sponsored by the Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury, and Chilmark Public Libraries.
