May Meetings and Events and We Say Goodbye to Another Volunteer

The days are longer, more of us can now gather in groups without fear of getting terribly ill, and life feels a lot more normal these days, at last. Our April monthly meeting, held as our first "hybrid meeting," was a huge success. We learned so much about the "new" 1950 federal census from Missouri State Archivist John Dougan with about thirty people in our office and another large group watching via Zoom. We will continue offering you meetings in that format so no matter where you are or however you feel safe, you can take part in our society's events, meetings, and classes. Coming up are some great options for you. Read on for details!

StLGS 50th Annual Family History Conference: Get in Your Car and Go—Midwest Archives and Libraries

We are excited to announce our 50th annual Family History Conference, this one in a brand new format, hybrid! We hope you will join us on Saturday, 14 May 2022, at the Maryland Heights Community Center, 2300 McKelvey Road, St. Louis, MO 63043, for this all-day event. You can attend in-person OR via Zoom, and, for the very first time, everyone who registers will be able to view all eight of the lectures, since they will all be recorded! Read on for all the details . . .

StLGS April Meetings AND Our Annual Family History Conference Returns!

At last, it is safe enough to start planning for live events, and we have some exciting news to share. First, the StLGS office is open again, so as long as you are healthy, we welcome you back on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings, from 9 a.m. until noon. Please respect our volunteers and plan your trip on another day if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to anything contagious. Second, we are pleased to be able to offer most of our meetings and classes in the future as hybrid events. We will be using our office in Maplewood for our meetings, since St. Louis County Library Headquarters is slated for its long-awaited demolition and rebuilding in the next few months. However, those who are not in St. Louis or who are not ready for being in a group setting are welcome to join us via Zoom. So, get your calendars out, and start planning!
