The Southern California Genealogical Society’ Jamboree will be held in Burbank, California, from June 7-9, with a pre-conference event on June 6.

SCGSJamboree

Over 100 sessions are scheduled over the three-day conference, and there are plenty of writing- and storytelling-related sessions (I was thrilled to see such a selection!!).  I also threw in a few sessions on the preservation of artifacts, since many times, we incorporates these elements into our stories.
