DESCRIPTION:Save the date for SCAG’s September meetup “Finding Family in the 1950 U.S. Census” with presenter Mary Wickersham.

The presentation will be offered synchronously online.

She is a longtime member of and volunteer for the Minnesota Genealogical Society and the Irish Genealogical Society International and has served on the boards of both organizations. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.

SUMMARY:Taking the Ball into Their Own Hands: Women and the Road to Title IX Online Exhibit opens
DESCRIPTION:Stearns History Museum is opening it’s first online photographic exhibit Taking the Ball into Their Own Hands: Women and the Road to Title IX.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibit celebrates the enactment of Title IX into law on June 23\, 1972\, and features 25 Stearns County women athletes. Each profile has a quote or an interesting fact about their experiences. The research coincided with a grant project funded through Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Fund and administrated by the Minnesota Historical Society. The highlighted athletes were chosen for their athletic skills and a desire to build community through volunteering\, mentoring\, and public service. \n\n\n\nAccess to the virtual display will be through the Museum’s website and catalog: https://researchcenter.stearnshistorymuseum.org/MAEResults.aspx?pS=*&dir=STEARNSAR \n\n\n\nQuestions can be directed to info@stearns-museum.org or by calling 320-253-8424.
