Hi Everyone -

I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the Department of the Interior Library on Thursday, March 28th from 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET for a free training session entitled "Researching Native American Records at the National Archives," part of our series of free training sessions at the DOI Library.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) houses vast amounts of material related to Native American cultures, histories, and individuals. These holdings include historical documents, photographs, audio recordings, and other materials created by Federal agencies, Federal courts, and the U.S. Congress from the eighteenth century to the present. Given the volume of material related to Native Americans in NARA's holdings, locating and accessing particular records can seem daunting. However, NARA has multiple tools available to help researchers identify and access records online. Rose Buchanan and Adam Berenbak, Archivists with the National Archives and Records Administration, will provide an overview of these tools and discuss strategies for searching for Native American records at NARA.

All that are interested are invited. Please note that the DOI Library is located in Room 1151 of the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building, just off the C Street entrance lobby. The Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building is located at 1849 C Street, NW in Washington, DC. Space for the program in the Library is limited so please go to the following link to register:

We do prefer that you attend in person here at the DOI Library if you can. However, please note that this class is also being offered as a simultaneous online webinar for those that can't attend in person. When you register, please indicate the name of the program you wish to attend and if you need information about webinar access.

You may contact the Library by phone at (202) 208-5815 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask] for more information about this program or if you have trouble registering using the link above. For more information about the DOI Library, its resources, and its services, please visit our website at http://www.doi.gov/library.

We hope that you can attend either in person or virtually on March 28th!
