Beyond the Document: Extracting Evidence from Context

Featuring Jake Eubanks, assistant manager, Emerson History & Genealogy Center, St. Louis County Library

(A link to a Google map with directions to the library is here.)

Experienced genealogists learn to understand documents by exploring historical context: seeking out ancillary documents, scrutinizing record citations, and thoroughly analyzing documents to understand their context. Learn how you can do this too!
