Hello All Part two of GSNJ's newest program announcements!! GSNJ is a co-sponsor for a series of workshops that will run in the Spring and Fall. The other sponsors are the State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC-NJ Caucus). Some of these workshops are geared towards the people who create and maintain archives and collections. Other lectures are geared more towards the "general public" and those of us who use the archives and collections. Several of the dates and topics have been announced. See the web page for SHRAB for more information: http://www.njarchives.org/links/shrabworkshops.html and for registration fees and information. The first two workshops sure sound "user friendly" and should be of interest to genealogists and historians! The first workshop will be on "Researching in Religious Archives" (which will cover many different faiths.) This workshop is June 8 (and again on Nov 10). The June 8 date will be at Drew University in Madison NJ. Nov 10 will be held at the NJ State Archives The second workshop is "County Archives: Reference Services." This will be presented on June 10 and Oct 11. First in Gloucester Co (at Gloucester Co Historical Society) and second at Monmouth Co Archives. The Oct 11 date will include a tour of the Monmouth Co Archives. I hope you all will check them out and help make the workshop series a success! Regards Joan Joan M.
