Digitizating Family History
Jillian Stantic
Are you overwhelmed or intimidated by all the choices you have when you’re looking to digitize records? Attend this session to review options for digitizing your own records, using everything from a phone to professional software and scanners. This will also include information on how to evaluate and hire contractors to do the work on your behalf, based on what we and other archives have learned over the years. The short presentation will be followed by a long Q&A session, so please bring your questions about digitization and digital preservation.

Using Social Media for Genealogy
Tara Shymanski
Social media can be intimidating for some of us, but the lure of connecting online with living relatives is tempting. Learn the value of social media; what it is, what platforms are available and how they work; and what a great tool it is for family historians.
