Tomorrow is one of my favorite days during the month of October. It is the National Archives Virtual Genealogy Fair! That is right. on the 21st and 22nd from 10am to 2pm EST you can go to the NARA website and learn from some of their best.
There will be live streaming of presentation on their YouTube channel starting with the opening remarks by Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero. You can see a listing of the schedule with descriptions of the sessions on their website. In addition, you can access handouts for each session as well as their presentation slides.
While I miss going to the NARA fairs in person, I do understand how this format can be a benefit to more people. So, I hope you will join me in watching, and attending, the virtual fair today.
