(I'll never forget the day I found an original mortgage document, with my four research targets' original signatures in different colors of ink, in an archived collection of unpublished papers.)
BCG OFFERS FREE WEBINAR Tuesday, July
21
“Diamonds in the Rough:
Finding and Using
Manuscript Collections”
Manuscript collections can be
a genealogist’s secret weapon. Learn to find and use them!

will present a webinar on this subject free to the public at 8:00 PM EDT 21 July
2015. Shellee A. Morehead, Ph.D.,

collections of unique unpublished materials that may be hiding in plain sight,
and how to access them online and in person -- including maps, photographs, diaries,
letters, scrapbooks, genealogists’ research notes, unpublished histories,
business ledgers, journals, vertical files, and other one-of-a-kind documents
and objects that may provide insight into our families’ lives and neighborhoods.
Seating
