The upcoming Society of Tennessee Archivists annual conference is just around the corner, and as readers of
The Posterity Project know by now,
I have started highlighting some of the sessions that will take place, at the John Seigenthaler Center in Nashville, Tennessee on Oct. 26-28.
The theme for this year's meeting is, "Roots: Unearthing Family History in Tennessee Archives" with sessions featuring a wide variety of speakers, including presentations and panel discussions by local authors, professional genealogists, historians, and archivists.

One session on the schedule for Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 that is of particular interest is
Understanding Records of Tennessee Courts & the Stories They Tell presented by Laine Sutherland, Director of Public Services,
Tennessee State Library and Archives and current past president of
Middle Tennessee Genealogical Society. Laine Sutherland takes you through one of the largest Record Groups at the Tennessee State Library and Archives and in county archives court records. In this mini-workshop, you will learn the basics of court history and discover a few golden records from this important historical series.
