I got an email from the New England Historic Genealogical Society the other day and they've got tons of really great stuff coming up! I'm seriously jealous that I'm too far away to attend! If you are lucky enough to be within driving distance of the society, head on over and take advantage of what are sure to be some great programs! Not within driving distance? They've got some great trips planned too!
So here it is right from NEHGS:
Make plans to start your genealogy with this great tour. This program begins with a thirty-minute introductory lecture and will be followed by a tour of the NEHGS library and its vast holdings.
