The Federation of Genealogical Societies 2013 Conference will be held in Fort Wayne, Indiana, from August 21-24, 2013. There are just a few days left to save $50 on the full-conference registration (early-bird rate ends July 1).
There are so many sessions available, covering a wide array of topics. Following are some of the writing-related sessions, many of which I will be attending! I’ve also thrown in a few preservation topics since many times, we incorporates photos, documents, and artifacts into our stories.
