St. Louis to offer genealogy research workshop
The Carpenter Library in St. Louis will host a class in March that teaches people how to conduct genealogy research on female ancestors.
Heralding Her Heritage: A Deep Dive into Women-Centric Genealogy Research is a program where students can learn strategies for finding information from a professional archivist. People who conduct research on women from the past may run into challenges due to the majority of historical records being focused on men. The presentation is part of the Carpenter Library's series of programs for Women's History Month. The other activities include group crafts projects and making recipe books.
The presenter of the program is Emma Prince, a graduate of Simmons University who founded the organization Backlog Archivists. Her business establishes digital archive projects for small museums. She was an intern at the National Archives and worked in the St. Louis County Library's History and Genealogy department. Prince was even an archivist for Maryville University. She is also a member of the Young Friends Council of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The class on female genealogy research will be held on Saturday, March 2nd from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. The presentation will take place in the library's lower-level auditorium. There is no cost to attend Prince's discussion on genealogy. Libraries in charge of similar workshops can use flyer printing to improve the visibility of their events.
