Tuesday, February 25, 2025 @ 1:00 p.m. (MT): Finding Aids and the National Archives
ZOOM MEETING: Presented by Craig Scott, Certified Genealogist, Fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association (FUGA)
​
The National Archives of the United States documents American history from the time of the First Continental Congress. That is a lot of paper, pictures and other things, so much in fact that it requires organization. Organization means that there are rules about how things will be filed and how they can be located once they are stored. "Finding Aids" is a term that describes the various publication, such as, guides and indexes, microfilm catalogs, reference information papers, inventories, preliminary inventories, special lists, checklists, descriptive pamphlets, and other tools that have been created to assist either the researcher or the archivist.​
