SUMMARY:Middletown Township Public Library Presents Photography & Storytelling: Exploring Community & Personal Histories
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Community History Project\, Middletown Township Public Library is hosting a series of lectures that explore the history of Middletown Township\, Monmouth County\, and New Jersey. \n— \nWords aren’t the only way to record your personal history. Join MTPL to explore visual storytelling through photography. We’ll discuss how to observe and record\, what makes an informative portrait\, how to recognize someone’s personality through a photo portrait\, collective memory\, and more. Please bring 1-3 actual photos (old or recent) or photos on your phone that relate somehow to your own personal or family history. Registration is encouraged. \nAnushka Dhoot is a New York & New Jersey based photographer and the founder of Nushy’s Film\, specializing in portraits\, events\, intimate weddings\, and artistic branding. With a background in digital culture and media/entertainment studies from NYU\, her work is shaped by a deep understanding of storytelling\, visual language\, and human connection. She approaches photography with a documentary sensibility and an editorial eye\, focusing on capturing honest\, emotionally resonant moments that feel both timeless and personal. \nThis lecture is part of the library’s Community History Project\, and was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Middletown Township Public Library Presents: Preserving Family Photographs
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Community History Project\, Middletown Township Public Library is hosting a series of lectures that explore the history of Middletown Township\, Monmouth County\, and New Jersey. \n— \nSince the introduction of photographic portrait studios in 1840\, photographs have been among the most treasured of family records but\, while most are long-lasting when stored optimally in archives\, in the home environment\, they are all too often prone to fading and discoloration. In this slide lecture\, Gary Saretzky will provide guidance on how the life of printed family photographs can be extended so that they can be passed down to future generations. The lecture includes examples of how old photographs can be enhanced or restored in the computer after digitization. \nGary D. Saretzky\, archivist\, educator\, and photographer\, worked as an archivist for more than fifty years at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin\, Educational Testing Service\, and the Monmouth County Archives\, where he was County Archivist\, 1994-2019. A member of the Photographic Materials Group of the American Institute for Conservation\, Saretzky taught the history of photography at Mercer County Community College\, 1977-2012\, and regularly reviewed books on photographic conservation for Conservation Administration News and other periodicals. He has published more than 100 articles and reviews on the history of photography\, photographic conservation\, and other topics\, including “The Effects of Electrostatic Copying on Modern Photographs\,” in The Book and Paper Group Annual\, Volume Four\, 1986. \nThis lecture is part of the library’s Community History Project\, and was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
