In September, we started some new Thursday night programs to go along with our “Getting to Know the Library” session which is offered the first Thursday of each month at 5:30. Now that October is here, we wanted to remind everyone of these opportunities to learn more about the library and research materials that are available. Registration is not required for any of these programs, so you’re welcome to just show up at the Library at 5:30 on Thursdays.
Here’s the rundown on our programs:
- 1st Thursday of each month, 5:30-6:30 – “Getting to Know the Library”
A Library staff member will lead interested patrons on a tour of the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library and answer questions about the resources we have available.
- 2nd Thursday of each month, 5:30-6:30 – Fold3 Users Group
Interested in learning more about using Fold3 (which was formerly known as Footnote)? Or are you a frequent user of Fold3 that can share your experiences and knowledge with others? Beginners, experts, and everyone in between are welcome!
- 3rd Thursday of each month, 5:30-6:30 – Ancestry and Heritage Quest Users Group
We’ve all heard of Ancestry.com, but what’s the best way to use it? How do you navigate the thousands of databases they have available? When do you have to leave the computer and go to the original records? And what exactly is Heritage Quest? How can it help with genealogy research? Both of these sites can be valuable to both beginning and advanced researchers, so come to our Users Group to learn more about using these resources or offer your advice to others!
- 4th Thursday of each month, 5:30-6:30 – RootsMagic Users Group
Do you use the genealogy software RootsMagic to organize your family tree? Come to the library to meet fellow RootsMagic users, discuss features of the program and strategies for making the most of this software.
(Use a different genealogy software program? Contact us at KHSRefdesk@ky.gov about forming additional user groups!)
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday nights in the Library!
