Join us as Janice Lovelace presents "Lunacy and Asylums: Mental Health in the 19th Century."

Was an ancestor committed to an asylum? Was someone enumerated as ‘lunatic, imbecile or incompetent” on a census? Who was committed and why? Are there records you can access? Learn about mental health treatment in the 1800s.

Join us as John Slate presents "Genealogy Resources at the Dallas Municipal Archives." While it is not the first stop for a genealogist, the Dallas Municipal Archives has a number of resources that can be helpful in your search for family. Please join John Slate, City Archivist, for a brief review of what is and what isn’t in the Municipal Archives and learn about its place in city government.
