Add a day of research to your Conference 2010 experience

Posted by conference on July 11, 2009 under Blog: New Postings, Speakers and Program, Visiting Toronto | Comments are off for this article

Toronto is home to a wonderful cluster of archives and reference libraries for genealogical research—particularly if you have Ontario roots.

On Thursday, May 13, before Conference 2010 gets rolling, you can join the “Hands-on Research Tour” for a day of research with assistance from Toronto Branch volunteers.

The tour will begin at the Conference 2010 hotel. Participants will travel by chartered bus and public transit (with a volunteer guide) to one of four research facilities. There will be a tour—we’ll keep it brief to allow the maximum time for research. Local experts will be on hand to help you navigate finding aids and records.

At lunch time, participants will have the opportunity to switch to a new research facility.

Choose from the Toronto Reference Library, North York Central Library (and the OGS Library), the City of Toronto Archives, or the new facilities of the Archives of Ontario. For more information about the holdings of these institutions and links to their web sites, see <http://www.torontofamilyhistory.org/libraries.html>

Watch for more details about the “Hands-on Research Tour” when registration opens this fall.
