What treasures can you find in the Internet Archive and other digital book collections to further your genealogical research? The Internet Archive not only includes freely available books published prior to 1923 (public domain), but also books currently in copyright that you can check out from allied libraries and hold in your free account for a limited time. In this workshop we’ll explore the Archive’s assets, practice some search strategies, and learn how to save books into our accounts. An interactive worksheet will be provided.

From the Valley of Hearts Delight to the high‐tech capital of the world, the Santa Clara Valley has gone through tremendous ecological as well as cultural changes. These changes have been shaped by the rich diversity of settlers, people who brought with them their industry, cultures and habits.
