I am delighted to be one of the presenters. My topic is on manuscripts and special collections that hold research gems too often overlooked. I will share details about free online finding aids to help you find these treasures no matter what repository holds things for the families and places you seek. Of course, some parts will be about North Carolina connections in North Carolina and some big surprises found outside of the state. I drool at what these collections hold in libraries, archives, and historical societies large and small. See you online on Friday, the 15th at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Then you can partake of these other helpful topics:
