The Society
of American Archivists recently announced the 2012 winner of the I Found It in The Archives! national
competition.
Julie Dresser, a teacher’s aide from Sycamore, Illinois , is the winner. Her
essay describes how a trip to the Benjamin F. Feinberg Library at State
University of New York at Plattsburgh
helped her discover priceless letters from her fourth-great grandmother. Doesn’t that sound like a genealogical gold
mine!
Here are the
eight entries from the 2012 national competition:
Even though
this competition is over, is there a real genealogical gem that you have found
in an archive and would like to share with other genealogists? If so, post a
comment about it!
