About this webinar
Many federal records pertain to the development and use of waterways in the United States. This lecture shows examples and explains the relevance of some of the applicable records found at the National Archives in Washington, DC, in its online holdings, and at its regional facilities like Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City, and others. Photos and documents will be examined from diverse NARA record groups; for example, Records of the Office of the Chief of Engineers (RG 77), Records of the Inland Waterways Corporation (RG 91), and Records of the Bureau of Land Management (RG 49). Other examples come from holdings of the Library of Congress Serial Set and map collections. The process for finding these and similar records will also be explained.

Very helpful, will watch again.
I wish that I knew half of what Pam does about the National Archives. Thanks Pam and you too Geoff for presenting this.
Very informative. Presented a lot of new materials to research.
Great information on an unusual topic
It's amazing to think how many hours have gone into figuring out where records might be. And a good reminder about how many are not on line. The picture of that box made me sneeze!
Always a delight to listen to Pam Sayre! Her knowledge is boundless!
Great information provided. I always love listening to Pamela Sayre; not only are her lectures fact filled but her voice is just perfect to listen to.
Loved the segment on the Corps of Engineers info. regarding the publication on River Engineers on the Middle Mississippi: A History of the St.L. District. Will be searching this NEXT!!!
Jan, that IS a great resource for the Corps of Engineers in your neck of the woods. Hope all is well with you! I miss my St. Louis friends.
