About the event
Join librarian Annika Troyer for an introduction to several powerful online research tools available through NCW Libraries. Annika will demonstrate how to use resources such as HeritageQuest, the Seattle Times Collection (NewsBank), Washington Digital Newspapers, Wenatchee World Archives, the IRIS NCW Collection, and Washington Rural Heritage.
Whether you're interested in genealogy, local history, researching a topic of personal interest, or simply curious about what these databases have to offer, you'll leave with practical skills and new resources to explore. HeritageQuest alone provides access to extensive census records, local histories, family histories, and other genealogy resources that can help you uncover your family's story.
Come learn about these valuable tools and discover new ways to connect with your family's past, your community's history, and the stories that matter to you.
