Wednesday, 7 May 2014, 5:15 p.m–7:00 p.m.
On Wednesday the conference program does not end at 5:00 p.m. Twenty-seven genealogical and historical societies from Virginia and a few from Pennsylvania, will be on display at the Marriott Hotel in the Grand Ballroom Foyer on the lobby level and Capital Ballroom Foyer on the lower level, to answer questions about local repositories and resources, discuss their group’s activities, and sell their publications. So plan to eat later on Wednesday evening and stop by the Marriott to learn more about the resources available in the Richmond area and across the state. The shuttle to the other hotels will be running until 9:00 p.m. to accommodate Society Night at the Marriott and researchers at the Library of Virginia.
Tables 1–14 are located in the upper foyer off the lobby and tables 16-30 are down the escalator in the lower level.
