A shameless plug for our friends…
Becky Lintz (CHS) and Wendel Cox (DPL) have been long-time supporters of the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection service, so it’s only right that I highlight “Behind the Genealogy Reference Desk,” a one-day institute from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23, 2009, at the Denver Public Library, held in conjunction with the ALA 2009 Midwinter Meeting.
From the RUSA blog post:
“Participants will learn from local genealogy experts about how such resources as the Colorado Rail Museum and the Colorado State Archives can assist coast-to-coast family history researchers. Speakers will also address ways to overcome the challenges of closed-record environments.”
“Advance registration ends Dec. 5, 2008. On-site registration will be available. The price includes lunch and a tour of the Colorado Historical Society Stephen Hart Library and the Colorado State Archives.”
Among the institute presenters are:
Dr. Wendel Cox, western bibliographer, Denver Public Library and author of “A World Together, a World Apart: the United States and the Arikaras, 1803-1851.”
Rebecca Lentz, director of the Stephen Hart Library, Colorado Historical Society James K. Jeffrey, genealogy specialist at the Denver Public Library and president of the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies.
