Our June meeting will feature John Horan from the NC State Archives Oral History Unit, who speak about how to conduct oral history interviews to preserve history for all.

Our July meeting will feature Chuck Ketchie, who is the exclusive publisher of the Garland P. Stout Historical Maps of North Carolina. These maps are unique tools for the location of historic place names and a priceless resource for researchers in the state. Mr. Ketchie will describe what can be gleaned from the maps and share other map projects that can assist researchers.
