Durham's Treasures: Unearthing History through Death Records

About the event

Join genealogy expert Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia for an attention-grabbing workshop that introduces Durham residents to the ways death information can reveal hidden history. We'll discuss different death records (obituaries, death certificates, burial certificates). Attendees are not required to bring any examples, but it is encouraged.

This event is co-sponsored by the City of Durham Community Partnerships & Engagement and the North Carolina Collection at the Durham County Library.

Where can I park when the Main Library parking lot is full?

Parking is available in the library parking lot or at the North Queen Street Garage located at 115 North Queen Street which is behind the apartments directly across the street from the library. Parking is free in the garage. Please bring your ticket to a service desk in the library for validation.

There is also street parking north of Holloway Street on North Queen Street.
