Lori Thornton, MLS

Online Appalachian Genealogical Research


Wednesday, 7 May 2014, 2:30 p.m., W150

While the presentation focuses primarily on the middle and Southern portions of Appalachia, a few resources from northern Appalachia are included. Some of the resources covered include online digitization projects of universities and of other repositories, online maps, online records (primarily those offering images), online books, and online journals and newspapers.

New resources appear frequently. While not every resource can be covered in the time slot, representative sources shown in the context of their usage will be presented. Attendees will be provided with a link providing a more exhaustive listing of sources.

Lori Thornton is a librarian at a liberal arts university in Tennessee and a professional genealogist, specializing in Southern States and in religious records. She speaks to librarians, societies, and other groups about genealogical topics.
