We hope you are ready to join us for our June monthly meeting as well as some Special Interest Group meetings and an upcoming class. Please read on for details . . .

June StLGS Hybrid Monthly Meeting

Saturday, 8 June 2024

"Recently Digitized Atlases at the Missouri Historical Society," presented by Emily Jaycox; 10:00 a.m. (Central) at the Grant's View branch, St. Louis County Library, 9700 Musick Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63123; free, open to all. The Missouri Historical Society received grants in 2022 and 2023 to digitize previously undigitized atlases (mostly plat books showing land ownership) covering St. Louis city, county, and beyond. MHS Librarian Emily Jaycox will review the online research guide to those digitized maps, which cover from 1829 to 1909. Even if your ancestors didn't own land, these maps may help you better understand the neighborhoods where they lived. You do not have to pre-register if you are attending in-person at the library, but if you want to attend via Zoom, you will need to sign up ahead of time. Please note: This meeting will NOT be recorded. More details and instructions for registering are on the StLGS website.
