Eastside Genealogy Society presents Diligence Online: Keep Looking Everywhere
Our speaker is Cyndi Ingle (of Cyndi’s List)
About our program: The internet is piecemeal. It isn’t clean and neat and tidy with everything in its place. Cyndi will guide us through the process of searching across multiple repositories and collections. She will point out aids and describe how to find the origins of the record offline. About our speaker: Cyndi Ingle is the creator of Cyndi’s List, a categorized & cross-referenced index to genealogical resources on the Internet. Cyndi’s goal is to make it easy for all researchers to find online resources for their genealogical research. It’s said that the Internet is like a library with its books strewn all over the floor. Cyndi would like her list to be the card-catalog for the genealogy section of that library. She hasn't been able to do anything serious with her own research since the website went online in March 1996!

Preservation Principles for Genealogists
Speaker: Megan Churchwell
In the course of your genealogical research you'll likely uncover important pieces of family history including photo albums, handwritten letters and other keepsakes. It's never too early to think about how to preserve these items for generations to come. The right storage materials, and an optimum storage environment, will help ensure these items are protected from harm for as long as possible. Join Megan Churchwell, curator of the Puget Sound Navy Museum, to learn more about caring for your photographs, documents and three dimensional heirlooms.
