Using Archival Records in Archaeological and Family History Research

Sponsored by: the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport

Location: W.I.S.H Centre – Black Mecca Museum, 177 King Street E., Chatham

Led by Black history researcher Guylaine Pétrin, this workshop will provide instruction on various types of archival records that are useful for archaeologists in their research and for reconstructing family genealogies. This workshop is suitable for everyone, not just archaeologists and historians. Learn how to access records, evaluate the information contained in them and its value and fact check. Examples from Black family history and recent archaeological excavations will be used.
