I, too, learned inadvertently about archives in history museums. In Renton, Washington, at the very back of the museum, I saw a small sign that said "Research Room". I excitedly went back to the volunteer at the front desk and asked if it was open to the public. She referred me to the archivist. I spent four days using their records--including two group photos which included my father & grandfather!\n\nAwesome!\n\nAwesome! Motivational for summer genealogy projects.
