The second pandemic of plague, better known as the Black Death, arrived in Europe in 1348, but this wasn’t its only appearance. Frequent plague epidemics continued into the early-modern period but then ceased altogether. Why? This class will explore the many contending arguments historians have offered to explain the disappearance of plague from Europe.

Gary Doster has amassed what he believes is the most extensive collection of antique Georgia postcards—many of which are the only images extant of now-demolished buildings. He will share a selection of these postcards along with stories and history of the people and places related to them. His vast knowledge of Georgia history, including that of Confederates, slaves, and Native Americans, will make the past come alive.

Church and other religious-organization records are among the richest—and most underused—sources for both genealogical and historical research. From baptisms and marriages to burials, membership lists, and minutes, these records place individuals within families, congregations, and communities. In this session, we’ll explore the wide range of records available, where to find them, and how to interpret the clues they contain. Learn how to use these “pew and page” resources to uncover relationships, track life events, and better understand the historical context that shaped your ancestors’ lives.
