Description

Ever wanted to dig into the weird, forgotten corners of literary history? 🕵️🌏

This month’s Book Club is a Hunting History Workshop! From 5:30-6:00pm, settle in with some quiet reading time, then from 6:00pm we’ll be doing a deep dive into obscure books, archives, and “dead” literature. Learn how to hunt down rare and unusual texts, explore research techniques for finding hidden literary treasures, and discover how to use archives and information searching for your own writing projects or just for the thrill of the find.

We will be joining this month with the Discover your Family History group and having a talk from Barbara Kelly, a local historical advisor. This is an all-ages session.

Whether you’re a history nerd, a research enthusiast, or just curious about the stories that time forgot, this one’s for you.

The Discover your Family History sessions are an opportunity for family and local historians to deeper into useful subjects, sources and research techniques.  Our topics range from using specific websites to historic stories, from basic searching techniques to advanced use of DNA results. Come along where-ever you are in your family research journey, we’ll help you grow your tree, get through brick walls and put flesh on the bones of your ancestors.
