The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is offering a workshop to teach participants how to preserve their family history by writing up their family’s most compelling tales. 

The workshop, “Writing Family Histories: Discovering, Developing, and Preserving Your Family History,” will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4, in the UA Little Rock Reynolds Business Building room 104.
