The program at the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society will be "Archaeology, Genealogy and A Privy" with Meghan Caves. Meghan's thesis research weaves together multiple stories of indigenous and Euro-American families who surrounded and interacted with an archaeological deposit originally excavated and analyzed in 2008 from Arlington, Washington. Meghan's reanalysis of the archaeological assemblage employs a biographical approach, which looks at how the 'lifetimes' of artifacts discarded in the privy are connected to the lives of the Teager, Hurd, Lovelace, and Weimer families who owned and occupied the site between 1890 and 1940. In order to construct nuanced and compelling biographies of the site, she employed extensive archival and genealogical research with the help of SVGS in 2021. Her talk will discuss how genealogical methods were used in her research, how this kind of historical information is more broadly useful to archaeologists, and explore the ethical implications of using publicly available genealogical information for archaeological research.

You are invited to the presentation at the society library. A syllabus is available to download below. Everyone is welcome! For more information, visit the SVGS website.

The program will be "The Draper Collection and Other Treasures of the Wisconsin Archives" with Lee Grady.

 

Lyman Draper (1815-1891) was a lifelong student of early American history. Born and raised in upstate New York, he made it his life's work to document the history of the "heroes” of the American Revolution, especially in the upper South. During the 1840s, Draper amassed a collection of research materials that included interview notes, correspondence, clippings, transcriptions, and original historical documents. He brought the collection to Wisconsin in 1852. The Draper Collection is now a treasure trove of genealogical and historical information about individuals who lived through the American Revolution and the War of 1812. It includes the papers of Daniel Boone, George Rogers Clark, Joseph Brant, and many others; and includes references to thousands of individuals. Reference Archivist Lee Grady will present an overview of the Draper Manuscripts, and provide practical tips for genealogical researchers.
