Because I've had several emails about "what the Salt Lake City Research Trip," I've decided to post this to the blog. Hopefully it answers most questions. Those with additional questions can email me at mjnrootdig@gmail.com

What the Salt Lake City Trip registration includes:

The registration includes help with pre-trip planning via a mailing list and website set up specifically for trip members after the first of the year. Additionally trip members are encouraged to email me information on their research problems well in advance of the trip so that together we can plan a set of research tasks for each problem or family that is being worked on during the trip. I have some forms and charts that I email to people to help them get started with this and to help organize them. The mailing list that we set up is a place to ask general questions and learn more about others going on the trip. Participants are encouraged to "write up" their problems and submit them to me as soon as possible after registering so that we can determine if additional information is needed before deciding what items and materials should be researched.

While at the library, there is a morning presentation each day the library is open. These presentations are at 8:00 every morning and last an hour. For the rest of the time the library is open, I am available for consultations, "quick questions," or help with interpreting records, etc. Trip participants sign up for the consultations, which usually last 20 or so minutes and can sign up for more than one consultation once everyone has had an opportunity.

Our trip is in May of 2008. Early bird registration deadline is 15 December 2007. More information is available on our site at http://www.rootdig.com/slctrip.html
