Though I loved attending, in person, a NARA genealogy fair a few years ago,
when sequestration hit last year, NARA NARA
Running
from October 28-30th and starting at 10am EST daily, the 2014
edition of the National Archives Virtual Genealogy Fair gives you the
option of listening to speakers including genealogy experts from National
Archives locations across the nation and U.S. Citizen and Immigration
Services. You will be able to access the live video streams on
YouTube.
You can access the full lecture
schedule here.
It looks like there will be a “chatting” option and watch the webpage for details. As for 2013, recorded sessions will remain
available online after the event and the webcast’s will include a close
captioning option.
I looked over the lecture schedule
and I wanted to point out a lecture a day that I might attend since they are
topics I’ve written on before and are topics that many researchers are less
aware of! Though, all of the topics are definitely worthy of your consideration. If only I could take the days off from work
