Historic maps are not necessarily a first stop on the genealogical journey, and yet maps can provide you with new clues as well as context into your ancestors' lives. But where do you begin? What maps are out there? We'll make pathways from local history books through physical map cases and then head out onto the web to explore epic digital collections.
Open to all, no registration required!

Congratulations, Ji-Yann! Ji-Yann Chin was the 2023 recipient of the Friends of the Franklin Library Scholarship in Memory of Wilma Winters. We had the pleasure of presenting Ji-Yann with her scholarship check for $1,000 at our January meeting. Ji-Yann is loving her first year at UMASS Amherst where she majors in Microbiology and is considering a double major in Public Health with a concentration in disease prevention. In her scholarship essay, Ji-Yann wrote passionately about what gives her hope for the future. After visiting with Ji-Yann at our meeting we think she is a young leader who inspires hope for the future, and we look forward to saying "We knew her when…" The Friends wish Ji-Yann all the very best in her studies and beyond!
