Vivid-Pix, NGS embarks on tour for Family History Month

In celebration of Family History Month in October, the National Genealogical Society (NGS) and imaging company Vivid-Pix is partnering with prominent societies, libraries, archives, museums, and senior adult organizations throughout the United States to host in-person and online events to celebrate their families and share memories and stories about their own lives and ancestors through the new NGS/Vivid-Pix Family Matters Program. The Family Matters Tour starts in South Carolina with events in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Kentucky throughout October.

NGS and Vivid-Pix recently announced the Family Matters Program at the NGS National Conference in June; the program is geared towards organizations to help their communities discover their family history with access to the Vivid-Pix Memory Station multiple-image scanner hardware and software solution, Vivid-Pix educational courses in genealogy, family history, photography, image organization, storytelling, and photo reminiscence, as well as the Family Matters Outreach Toolkit, which provides these organizations with turnkey materials to attract new audiences to their genealogy programs, showcasing their special genealogy research techniques, and introducing new members and volunteers to the excellent work that these organizations do to help people discover their past.
