September Third Saturday meeting on 18 September 2021 at 1:00 p.m. on Zoom
JSTOR: A Resource African Americans Can No Longer Ignore
Successful African American research is tied to use of historical material. A vast amount of research, particularly in the past 50 years, has been done and shared with the world through scholarly publications (like The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society). One of the most efficient vehicles for accessing these articles is JSTOR, short for Journal Storage. This month's presenter will be Timothy Pinnick who will tell us about the rich information that can be found at JSTOR.org.
Timothy N. Pinnick is an article writer, and national speaker, author of the book, “Finding and Using African American Newspapers”. He has been an associate instructor in the biennial “Researching African American Ancestors” course at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research. In 2019, Tim was the coordinator and facilitator of a workshop course at the Institute entitled “Building an African American Research Toolbox.” A lover of history, he has presented papers at four large history conferences. His business, History and Genealogy Spotlight, specializes in assisting libraries and individuals in identifying new and used African American books relevant to the African American research process.

"I too am of the hills, my folks have corn rowed tobacco, laid track, strip mined, worshipped and whiskied from Harlan to Maysville, old Dunbar to Central...We put the heat in the hot brown and gave it color. Indeed some
of the bluegrass is black."
