I've asked this question in the past, but am wondering--once again--if the
library has come up with a way to share these wonderful presentations with
those of us who can't attend. I live in Indiana, but have subscribed to LVA
for more than 15 years. I'd really appreciate it if you would reward my
loyalty with a way for me to attend long-distance. (Maybe put it on You-Tube
or arrange for us to participate via Skype, for example)
Most sincerely,
Chuck West
Michigan City, Indiana

Where History Begins: Celebrating Our Successes to Be Held on October 1
The Library of Virginia will kick off Archives Month in style on October 1
by offering Where History Begins: Celebrating Our Successes, a workshop for
local historical and genealogical societies. Participants will learn
strategies for planning and completing successful projects, evaluating and
working effectively with their collections, identifying grant opportunities
and partnerships, and building support for their organizations.
The day-long workshop will feature concurrent sessions in the morning and
afternoon, a presentation on a successful collaborative local history
preservation project, and tours of Virginia's storied archives. Among the
session topics will be: Stories of Virginia Found in the Chancery Records,
the Civil War 150 Legacy Project, What Is a Public Record?, Unknown No
Longer: A Database of Virginia Slave Names, and Care and Preservation of
Photographs.
The workshop fee is $25, which will include lunch. A limited number of
travel stipends are available for those attending from societies located
more than 150 miles to Richmond. Registration begins August 6 and closes
September 17. For information on the travel stipend or reserving hotel rooms
at the conference rate, please call 804-692-3605. To register, visit:

The workshop is sponsored by the Virginia State Historical Advisory Board
and made possible by a generous State and National Archival Partnership
(SNAP) grant from the National Historical Publications and Records
Commission.
