Museum Project



"Archives" at the Apache County Museum.

Let's see - can I add ONE more project (a LIFETIME project!!) to my list!?!?

It's official - I am on the Board of the Apache County Historical Society!!! So excited! Starting two volunteer projects there! I am going to create a website for the Historical Society; and I am also going to help begin cataloging/computerizing the collection there! My goal is to get the photographs and local histories digitized & then work with the Arizona Memory Project (through the Arizona State Libraries & Archives) to have them become part of the Memory Project (preserved & available online!!) Wish me luck!

Latest Undertaking

One of my latest Genealogical Undertakings is to facilitate an area "users group" where I live. After teaching a series of classes at our local public libraries on how to use Ancestry Library Edition - some of the attendees wanted to continue meeting. I thought, sure, why not?! Thus the creation of the Round Valley Area Genealogy Users Group. One of the main purposes of our group is to explore Internet Resources for Genealogical Research. We also share ideas on how to organize, save, and preserve our research, photographs, and memoirs. And much more. The group meets monthly (currently on the 3rd Thursday of each month). I just put together a website for our group - you can see it here: Round Valley Area Genealogy Users Group
