Speakers may allow the library permission to record the events and host them on the Santa Cruz Public Libraries' YouTube channel for later viewing.

Local archives can be a source of valuable information for genealogists wanting to tell a rich history of their ancestors. They often contain diaries, scrapbooks, hotel registers, club and organization minutes, etc.
Lisa Robinson will take us through a journey exploring the archives in the collection of the San Lorenzo Valley Museum to demonstrate how such a collection can be used to paint a more vivid picture of our ancestors, from wherever they may have hailed.
