Reclaim the Records by Brooke Schreier Ganz (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
A video conference meeting using Zoom. Registration required.
Reclaim the Records is a not-for-profit activist group of genealogists, historians, researchers, and open government advocates. They identify important genealogical record sets that ought to be in the public domain but which are being wrongly restricted by government archives, libraries and agencies. They file freedom of Information and Open Data requests to get that public data released back to the public. And if the government does not comply, they take them to court. Everything they win is digitized and put online for free, without any paywalls or usage restrictions, so that it can never be locked up again.

Planning a Future for Your Family’s Past by Marian B. Wood (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
A video conference meeting using Zoom. Registration required.
Ancestors' photos, stories, documents, and heirlooms are part of your family's past, and they deserve to be protected to share with future generations. Even if you have no obvious heirs for your genealogy collection, this presentation will offer ideas for paths forward. Learn about the PASS process for organizing and storing family history materials with today and tomorrow in mind; curating your collection to keep key items while finding suitable new homes for other items; writing a "genealogical will" to safeguard your collection for the future; and sharing your family's history now, before joining your ancestors.
Registration will open one month prior to the event.
