Genealogy and family history research continues to trend with the public, presenting an opportunity for historical societies and libraries. Librarians and Local Historians Day at the 2017 New England Regional Genealogical Conference in Springfield will feature Bob (Robert) Anderson, The Great Migration Study, as luncheon speaker.

Rhonda Clark and Nicole Wedemeyer Miller\u2019s book, Fostering Family History Services, includes ideas for how partnerships between the two communities of practice can benefit both. Rhonda will share their findings in person. Curt\u2019s second presentation highlights cost-effective public domain resources for genealogical reference that don\u2019t require a budget.
