Past: Free Workshops for Intermediate-Level Genealogists

Missouri State Archives reference staff will provide instruction on how best to use lesser-known county records, state and federal naturalization records, appellate court records, state documents, professional registration records, military records, non-population census records and more! All offerings are free, open to the public and approximately seven hours in duration, including a one-hour lunch break.

Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, with maximum attendance at each determined by the size of the venue.

These workshops are made possible through a State Board Programming Grant awarded to the Records Services Division of the secretary’s office and the Missouri Historical Records Advisory Board (MHRAB) by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC).

The Missouri State Archives works closely with the MHRAB, the central advisory board for projects relating to historic records that are developed and carried out within Missouri. The board appraises grant proposals submitted to the NHPRC, as well as providing training opportunities, guidance on archival best practices and other cooperative strategies.

For further information on the workshops, or to register, contact the Missouri State Archives’ liaison to the MHRAB, Brian Rogers, at (573) 526-1981 or brian.rogers@sos.mo.gov.
