“Academic Archives and How to Use Them in Your Research” is the title of the Olympia Genealogical Society’s December 10 Virtual meeting. Mark O’English and Gayle O’Hara from the Washington State University will give us a look at the types of materials held in archives and special collections at colleges and universities, what you can expect to find there, and how to find materials around the region and the country useful to your genealogy. They will share relevant collections, examples from genealogy researchers they’ve aided, and tools for identifying and locating resources. We’ll learn how academic special collections can help, both in today’s complex outbreak times and when we return to “normal.”   To access the virtual meeting, log onto our website https://OlyGenSoc.org a few minutes before 7 pm on Thursday, Dec. 10 and follow the entrance code given.  Questions, info@OlyGenSoc.org       Thank-you   JOYCE OGDEN, Publicity
