Hello, all!

Here are a few online, archive- and history-related learning opportunities:

-----

The 1950 census records are set to be opened in April 2022 (thanks to the "72 year rule"), and the National Archives is hosting a series of genealogy webinars focused on the newly available census records. The series of 7 webinars is free, open to the public, and recordings are available if you miss a live session. "The series will provide family history research tools for all skill levels along with a general overview to specific topics."

-----

The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries is hosting a webcast, Toward a More Perfect Union, on Monday, April 4 at 1:00 pm CST. Panelists will be: 
  • Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress
  • David Ferriero, Archivist Of The United States, National Archives and Records Administration
  • Tom Medema, Associate Director for Interpretation, Education, & Volunteers, National Park Service
  • Elaina Norlin, ASERL’s Coordinator of Professional Development and DEI Programming, will moderate the session
"ASERL has the honor of hosting a web-conversation with national leaders from our country’s most important cultural heritage organizations to learn about activities their organizations are undertaking / have in planning that reflect a more inclusive view of our nation’s heritage and provide additional context for our national history."

Happy learning!
