X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 "Hispanics and the Formation of the American People" Oct 1-2, D.C. Attached (at the end of this email) is the latest schedule of workshops and speakers for the Hispanic/Latino heritage conference to be held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., Oct 1-2. I have been assisting Sam Anthony, Director of Program Lectures in setting it up. Although the Archives have been in existence for 70 years (since 1934), this is the first conference ever held at the National Archives dedicated specifically to Hispanic family history. Most other minority and special interest groups have at some time had a conference which included their research interest, but Hispanic researchers have not been served. I think the event deserves special recognition. Sam has really be our champion in getting the conference approved. Please help get the word out, especially among friends that live in the D.C. area. We would like the efforts of all Hispanic genealogy and historical societies to be recognized. Outside of the theater is a long, extremely wide (about 30 feet) hallway where tables will be set up for organizations to distribute brochures, flyers and/or displays. Please contact Sam Anthony indicating what your organization will be mailing. Materials will not be returned. Organization's brochures will be kept for the benefit of future researchers visiting the Archives. Posters, as appropriate, will most likely be distributed to local schools.
