------------------------------------------------------------

We’re pleased to invite our extended community to attend a free DPLA
workshop webinar — DPLA for Genealogy and Family History, taking place on
July 26, 2016 at 3:00pm EST.

In this hour-long workshop webinar, DPLA Community Reps and experienced
genealogists Tamika Maddox Strong and Amy Johnson Crow will introduce DPLA
as a resource for family historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in
learning about new research skills and cool collections in DPLA.  You will
leave this workshop with new tips for searching for family names in DPLA
and exploring resources in your family’s hometown or region.  We’ll also
take a peek at some of the collections that may prove invaluable for your
family research: yearbooks, letters, newspapers, military records, family
Bibles and more!  With content from 2,000 libraries, archives, and museums
across the country, DPLA also offers a unique opportunity to dig deeper and
add context to the lives of our ancestors. The workshop is free and open to
all so whether you are new to DPLA, new to genealogy, or highly
experienced, the workshop will have something for you.
