The 2014 Vermont History Expo features the Vermont Historical Society’s Leahy Library, the Genealogical Society of Vermont, and the Vermont Genealogy Library. These organizations and others can help you answer your questions about genealogy and archive research in Floral Hall on the Tunbridge Fairgrounds June 21 and 22.
Vermont Historical Society’s Expo coordinator, Amanda Gustin, explains, “A popular feature of the Vermont History Expo is our genealogy specialists—you can work with representatives from the state’s leading genealogy organizations and archivists from Vermont’s major collections repositories.”
Once again History Expo visitors will have the opportunity to search for their family histories on the Internet with expert advice. Members of heritage societies, ethnic genealogy organizations and archivists will help with your research and questions about organizing and storing archival collections. In addition, many of the participating organizations will offer a variety of genealogical publications for sale.
Visitors can also delve into additional aspects of archival research at other booths in Floral Hall. Representatives from the Vermont Digital Newspaper Project will explain how to access the 200,000 pages of Vermont newspaper currently online. Don’t miss “The Criminal Arts: Counterfeiting and Forgery” — a fascinating exhibition presented by The Vermont State Archives and Records Administration. Members of the Vermont Historical Records Advisory Board will provide helpful handouts on preserving personal digital records and disaster preparedness for historical collections. The University of Vermont Department of Special Collections and the Goddard College Archives will also be on hand to discuss the resources available at their repositories.
