Using Your Research Time Well


 

At the Tuesday, September 8, 2020 meeting, President Carol Lloyd reminded us of the opportunities for learning on the internet. As an example, she copied a handout from a webinar presented by Curt B Witcher, the manager of the Genealogy Center at Allen County Public Library.

Mr Witcher emphasized the value of getting the maximum out of your historical research. He had suggestions ranging from how to ask archivists and record custodians the "right" question, to using parts of the library beyond the genealogical collection. He even included a form for thoroughly recording  and documenting your search.

Check the ACPL website and all of your favorite sites frequently. Notices of free classes and webinars are opportunities to improve your skills.
