Have you checked whether your state
archives, library or similar state level repository produces a news
publication? If you haven’t, you might
be missing out on a great way to keep current on “what’s happening” in your
state. Additionally, these publications
often include some historical context that has relevance to your research into
your ancestors, such as articles on historical topics, mentions of new books or
archival collections that might assist your research, etc.
Traditionally,
many of these newsletters were originally a printed publication and are now an
electronic publication. Or, with the
modern ease of producing newsletters with lots of information, color graphics,
active hyperlinks and so many other capabilities now available, some archives
are introducing electronic newsletters which they can easily make available to
so many.
Some
examples of some state newsletters include:
- Missouri State Archives ... Where History Begins
- Mississippi History Newsletter
- California Originals
Additionally,
some newsletters are found in this list, Online
Newsletters issued by
As
with all publications, some come and go and so do consider that though your
state archive may not currently be published, there may be archived copies such
as the Maryland State Archives' Newsletter,
The Archivists' Bulldog.
I
regularly read the North Carolina
Comments to let me know “what’s happening” and to use as a source of
information to share with local genealogical researchers via the local society
newsletter.
Does your state archive produce a
free newsletter? Of so, let us know! What do you like about it? What neat finds
have you found in the publication?
