Documentation & Citation: Keep Calm and Cite your Sources! by Alice Hoyt Veen
Source documentation and citations are important components of every successful family history project. Citing sources creates a permanent “breadcrumb trail” that others can follow and enhances the credibility of research findings. This presentation begins with the basics, then digs deeper into evolving standards for documenting 21st century sources.

THE RESET

A social salon reimagining resourcefulness and reconnection among Denver artists of color

Before Denver’s current population boom, artist communities of color naturally congregated in certain spaces in the city. These opportunities to gather encouraged artistic collaborations and community building. A changing cityscape has affected the abundance of those spaces and the number of collaborations borne as a result of simple socializing. The Reset is a quarterly event to promote relationship building and inspire collaborations by providing space for visual artists of color to learn, network, and share creative space.

Hybrid – In Person and Zoom
Presented by Noel Ferre
Knowing where to begin your family research can be overwhelming and confusing. We’ll keep your head from spinning by focusing on how to start your genealogy journey the correct way and avoid some of the mistakes that many of us made when we began our research. We’ll define terms and best practices, and learn what records are available and how to find them. We’ll look at how to organize our research and where to put all the data that we find. Many a seasoned genealogist has had to go back and make corrections after years of research (including your presenter). Let’s avoid some common mistakes and get started on the right foot!
