This event will be held at Genealogy Center.
Event Description: The Lyman Copeland Draper Manuscript Collection is a vast and valuable collection now under the auspices of The Wisconsin Historical Society. It contains 491 volumes divided into 50 series of varying lengths, arranged by geographic area, subject and individual, and covering the period between the French and Indian War and the War of 1812 (ca. 1755-1815.) The geographic concentration is on what Draper and his contemporaries called the "Trans-Allegheny West." The collection as a whole is extremely varied and includes correspondence, interview notes, extracts from newspapers and other published sources, muster rolls, transcripts of official documents, and much more. Join Jim Hansen, reference librarian and genealogy specialist, as he discusses the scope of the collection, its importance to researchers and how to use it. This program is presented in celebration of Oklahoma Archives Week.
