Genealogy Workshop: UNH Milne's Special Collections and Archives Resources

Genealogy workshops are free, open to the public, and appropriate for all levels of interest and experience. Everyone will learn something new. Join us!

Genealogical research in archives can be confusing. This presentation will teach you to make productive use of materials such as letters, diaries, and account books. We will focus on the resources available at UNH’s Milne Special Collections to assist you in learning how to use archives and finding material relevant to your research, including locating accurate genealogical information related to women and minorities. 

Milne Special Collections and Archives contain over 18,000 linear feet of rare books, manuscripts, university records, photographs, sound recordings, and local history materials. Strengths of our collections include material pertaining to Anglo-American traditional music and dance, angling, the Shakers, and NH writers. Appointments are free and open to all members of the public.
