<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Friday from the Greene County Records Center & Archives!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The holidays are just around the corner and that means that kids will be home on their winter breaks looking for something to do. We have something that is both
<b><i>fun and educational</i></b> that the kids might enjoy! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to introduce our new <a href="https://www.co.greene.oh.us/index.aspx?NID=1092">
<span style="color:blue">Student Resource Page</span></a>! The Greene County Records Center & Archives maintains and preserves the vital historical records of the County and it is our responsibility to ensure that they are accessible to current and future generations.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the goals of our Student Resource Page is to introduce students to the importance of archival repositories, their role in preserving important records and how these records can be used for a variety of research projects. We also
want to educate students about the rich history of the county that they live in. The booklets and activities available to students provide them with a sampling of our primary sources along with fun activities to learn how these records can be used. The
webpage also introduces students to some local history topics and historical locations that are right in their own backyard!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following presentations and activities are included on the Student Resource Page:<o:p></o:p></p>
