You are invited to join NEHGS for a week of guided research at our 99 Newbury Street library in Boston. You’ll have access to personalized one-on-one consultations, morning lectures, and special participant-only admission hours. The week’s lectures include an orientation to the NEHGS collections, methodology seminars, and daily topical discussions of understanding record sources. The program includes group social events to meet other members, discuss your research, and share your stories. This program fills up every year, so make your plans to attend soon.
