With so many early records lost or scattered across the ocean\, colonial research can be tricky – but exciting new resources are making it easier than ever. In this session\, Diane will highlight surviving colonial records that are free and easy to access\, along with recent digitization projects from the State Archives and State Library of North Carolina. She’ll also introduce new online collections and UK resources that bring early American history right to your desktop.And we won’t forget the women of the colonial era. Many widows became heads of household and appear in both familiar and unexpected records. Diane will share several online platforms – some open to the public\, others available through libraries – that help uncover these valuable documents and the stories they tell. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\n\n\nDiane L.
