Join the DC Preservation League in-person at the MLK Jr. Memorial Library to learn how to research the history of your DC house and neighborhood using primary sources from The People's Archive. The People's Archive is the DC Public Library's local history research center that is full of unique documents relevant to scholars, genealogists, and city residents. Library staff will present tips on using building permits, historic maps, photographs, city directories, newspapers and other materials from the archives to explore DC's architectural and social history. 

This program is free and open to the public. Please register online to participate.
