Who's Going to the FGS Genealogy Conference in Birmingham? We Are!
Posted by Diane
We at Family Tree Magazine HQ are getting ready to head to the Federation of
Genealogical Societies 2012 annual conference next week in
Birmingham, Ala.
The theme is Indians, Squatters, Soldiers and Settlers in the Old
Southwest, and the
classes reflect those topics and more.
We'll be camped out in
the exhibit hall (which opens Thursday) in booth 420, where
conferencegoers can stop by to say hi, pick up a magazine, enter our
giveaway, ask about Family Tree University, and peruse our latest
CDs and books—including How
to Archive Family Keepsakes by Denise Levenick and From
the Family Kitchen by Gena Philibert Ortega.
Check the FGS Conference
Blog for updates on conference activities. You also can
download the free FGS 2012
Conference App to help you find your way around, keep track of
the conference schedule and more.
Looking for local and regional research opportunities? We hear that
on Wednesday, Aug. 29, the Birmingham
Public Library/Linn-Henley Research Library
(
2100 Park Place, Birmingham, 35203) will stay open late, until 8pm,
for FGS 2012 attendees.
There you'll find the city archives,
maps, photographs, letters, diaries, scrapbooks, and other
historical materials related to Birmingham, Jefferson County and the
surrounding area. If you plan to go, see the
library's
tips on planning a research visit.
(And if you can't get there, check
out the Birmingham Public Library's digital collections, which
include newspapers, maps, local history exhibits and more.)
The Alabama Genealogical Society,
the local host for the conference, deposits its collections at the Samford
University Library (800 Lakeshore Drive, Birmingham, 35229).
The special
collections hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
