Buried Treasure: An Introduction to Internet Archive

There is a free resource with millions of genealogy records just waiting for you, and it’s called Internet Archive.

You might have seen reference to this in other talks, but now Patrice Connelly is going to guide you through the process of getting a lot more out of it.

She’ll use slides to introduce you to how it works, but then organised chaos will reign as participants try out their search skills and report on their findings.

All participants should be at a computer, and if you have a computer and a laptop, you might want to watch on the laptop while searching on the larger machine. That’s up to you.

By the end of the webinar, you should be

a) excited at how much is on this resource;

b) enthralled at what you’ve already found; and

c) enthusiastic about what you’re going to find in coming days and weeks.
