Excited to be a room monitor for New York tonight for NGS! Looking forward to the Q&A with the New York State Archives!!

Ever wondered what is really available inside state archives and how to access those records more effectively? NGS MemberConnects! is hosting a live State Archives Crawl on 11 February that brings reference archivists from across the country together for an interactive conversation.

This Zoom event will feature a roundtable discussion and breakout rooms where participants can learn directly from archivists about unique state holdings, access procedures, and practical research tips. Because of the format, this session will not be recorded.

Nearly 30 state archives are confirmed to participate. NGS individual members should register using the link sent by email.
