LESSON 10

WRAP UP

I'd have to say my biggest discovery would have to be ArchiveGrid and CAMIO. I have seen them on the alphabetical list before but didn't have any idea what they were or how to use them. It was fun exploring them and seeing what they could be used for. Another database that I will be using more in the future is the FirstSearch Indexes. I hadn't used them before either but can see where they will be helpful. I think we will put an article in the paper again promoting these databases and I will be better able to steer patrons toward a database that will help them.

Thank you for this opportunity to learn more about the electronic resources provided for us!

LESSON 9

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY RESOURCES

Discovery Exercise:

1. I wasn't able to find myself in Ancestry but I did find my great great grandfather after receiving some genealogy from my aunt.

2. I searched for my paternal grandfather and found him in the 1930 census.

3. In the search for South Dakota under the photos and maps tab I found 4308 pictures and 150 maps, atlases & gazetteers.

4. In Heritage Quest I searched for Belle Fourche and Seth Bullock and got some pretty interesting reading!

5. In Sanborn Maps I chose Belle Fourche, Sept. 1903. The Wide Awake Grocery Store was one of the few buildings to survive the fire of 1896 and is still standing today. Up until recently it was being used as Robb's Store but is now empty.
