Where History Begins will be held on Monday, May 3, 2010. This workshop
is made possible by a generous State and National Archival Partnership
(SNAP) grant from the National Historical Publications and Records
Commission.
Where History Begins will provide an opportunity for networking and
cooperation among societies across the Commonwealth. Society members,
staff, and volunteers are being encouraged to register for this exciting
day of presentations, discussion, and behind-the-scenes tours of the
Library of Virginia.
Speakers will explore a variety of topics, from finding grant
opportunities to building support for societies. Basic preservation
tools and techniques for working with collections will also be
presented.
A registration form is available on the Library's web site; the cost is
$30, and includes lunch.
Please share this information with any interested parties.
