We are very pleased to be exhibiting this weekend at the annual Vermont History Expo at the fairgrounds in Tunbridge, VT, Jun 16-17, 2012. We will be there all weekend to answer questions about the VTDNP. At our booth we will have a slideshow tutorial that shows strategies for searching online Vermont newspapers. We also plan to have an internet enabled computer available to do your own live searches at the event.

The VTDNP’s booth is adjacent to the University of Vermont Special Collections Center for Digital Initiatives (CDI), which will feature their wonderful Vermonters in the Civil War collection. The collection is a collaboration between the CDI and the Vermont Historical Society (VHS).

This will be my first visit to this event, and I am really looking forward to it. The theme of this year’s Expo is Vermont in the Civil War. The Expo brings together so many interesting institutions and projects in the state to one place. For information about attending the event, including information about directions and parking, check out the VHS History Expo website here.

I look forward to seeing you there!
