Root Cellar's exhibit at the 2017 Archives Crawl was a big success! Dozens of persons attending the event stopped at our exhibit in the Research Room of the State Archives and shared their family stories. Better yet, some were able to find references to their families in our library. Our thanks to our Members who volunteered to support the event, and we look forward to doing this again next year.
The February 2018 issue of Root Cellar PRESERVES (Vol. 41, No.1) has been posted to our Members-Only section. Members have received copies by email. posted 2feb2018 ls

Root Cellar is now conducting General Member Meetings in July and August!
⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔
To take advantage of Summer daylight hours, Root Cellar's Board of Directors has decided to conduct regular monthly meetings in July and August. Instead, the "dark months" (when no meetings are held) will be moved to December and January when darkness and the weather combine to pose a possible hazard to our Members when attending meetings. For now, this will only be a trial and may be amended in the future. So, plan to attend our scheduled meeting on Thursday, July 13. Hope to see you all there!
Root Cellar's library now includes a new, online searchable catalog!
