We will discuss knowing where to begin, learn the best location within the home to store documents, receive a presentation of archival enclosures, and get tips on organizing materials.

Enter Jack Trenholm, a gorgeous writer obsessed with unsolved mysteries. He has reason to believe that diamonds from the Confederate Treasury are hidden in the house. So he turns the charm on with Melanie, only to discover he’s the smitten one…
