Indexing Night at the ARC

Starting earlier than usual at 6:00 p.m. and indexing until 8:30 p.m. The June meeting is a work night in the Area Research Center (ARC) on the University of Wisconsin–River Falls campus. This is our chance to give back some of our time to the ARC by helping with one or more indexing projects as chosen by either Archivist Morgan Paavola or Community Archivist Shelby Edwards. This year we may work on getting the information from the Biographical Card Index entered into the Online Genealogy Index of Archived Records for Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix Counties, which is a work in progress and can be found at www.3.uwrf.edu/ArchivesRecords. Or we may work on indexing Pierce County divorces as found in the Pierce County Circuit Court order books, or another project chosen by the archivists. If you have a laptop, please bring it; if you do not have one, you will pair up with someone who does. 

The ARC is located on the lower level of the Chalmer Davee Library. Clear signage will direct you to the Area Research Center.
