Twenty Years of Papers Past

As part of Family History Month 2021 Emerson Vandy will reflect on 20 years of Papers Past — the development of the site, some of the stories we’ve encountered, and what is coming up. There will also be a chance to ask questions about using this invaluable service.

Happy 20th Papers Past
Papers Past has now been with us for twenty years, and this talk will reflect on where we’ve come from, some of the stories we’ve encountered along the way, as well as what we’ve got coming up.

In addition to looking back across the history of the site, please feel free to bring any questions you may have about using this service and how to get the best out of it — it’s always worth sharing tips and tricks.
