The Dallas Death Map Project, a joint project involving UTA Special Collections and Research Data Services, was created out of a need for a comprehensive resource of deaths that occurred in Dallas. UTA Special Collections Archivist Priscilla Escobedo will demonstrate features of the interactive map, explain how the data is compiled, researched and verified, and how the map can be used for YOUR genealogy research.
This program will discuss how the Texas Digital Newspaper Program collection can be used to locate and identify historical events and the ancestors who participated in them. UNT's Ana Kramer will provide a live demonstration of how to use the Texas Digital Newspaper collection for genealogy research and invite the audience to participate in a newspaper scavenger hunt.
