A year ago, NYG&B began a monumental partnership with the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York (SRNY) to preserve and digitize an extensive collection of membership applications and historical records. These membership applications trace the descent of American Revolutionaries and hold a wealth of genealogical and biographical knowledge. And on October 28 we're publishing 10,000 of these applications for everyone to access!
But that's not all, we're celebrating with two free events on Monday, October 26. Learn how to use and access this collection with a special sneak peek during an online webinar from 3pm-3:45pm. Then join us at Fraunces Tavern Museum from 6:30pm-7:30pm for further discussion on this revolutionary collection and partnership. Register at https://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/events
Pictured here is Kalyn Loewer, NYG&B Manager, Digital Collections, standing next to more than 15 boxes of historical records from SRNY outside of Fraunces Tavern in Lower Manhattan. Soon these boxes would be transported to the NYG&B headquarters to be scanned and digitized.
