This live webinar will introduce the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) as a resource for family historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in learning about new research skills and cool collections in DPLA. You will leave this workshop with new tips for searching for family names in DPLA and exploring resources in your family’s hometown or region. We’ll also take a peek at some of the collections that may prove invaluable for your family research: yearbooks, letters, newspapers, military records, family Bibles, and more.

The webinar is open to all so whether you are new to DPLA, new to genealogy, or highly experienced, the workshop will have something for you. To register, please call the Southern History Department at 205-226-3665 as space is limited. The class will be held in the Regional Library Computer Center, 4th floor, Linn-Henley Research Library.
