Handwritten letters have fallen out of fashion in the digital age. Yet within the pages of mailed envelopes are magical clues to family history and the foundation of a lasting legacy. Join Peyton Roberts, local author of My Dearest Bea: Love Letters from the USS Midway, and Sam Brownlee, VBPL's archive assistant, for an interactive discussion about how to mine letters for family history and how the library’s historical archives can enhance your research efforts. Learn practical tips for reviving the lost art of letter writing to forge lasting connections in your life across distance and generations.
