March
Meeting
On March 10, 2022, Laura
Chaplin presented a program titled What’s Your Mission: Inherited Collection, Futureproofing, or Attacking Your Stacks?
This
presentation, via Zoom, briefly discussed a series of steps that can be used to
attack a collection of genealogical data, regardless of the size of the
collection.
The PDF of the PowerPoint presentation is
posted on the MCGS website, along with a PDF form designed to assist you
in evaluating your material. There is also a template that can be used in this evaluation. However, it is an Excel file and you
will have to contact Mary Westerhold to get her to
email you a copy of the template.
Although the audience was small, this
presentation was very well received. There were very few comments or questions
because the presentation lasted almost until the library closing time.
