It is a pleasure to introduce Pat Johnson as a speaker at Family History Day at the California State Archives.Pat Johnson is Senior Archivist at The Center for Sacramento History, formerly the Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center. She has served the center since 1995. A native Californian, she received her B. A. and an M. A. in history from California State University, Sacramento where she focused her studies on western history and particularly California history. She received her archival training at both the California State Archives and at the Center for Sacramento History. She did her master's thesis on former Sacramento Mayor Anne Rudin’s papers held at the California State Archives.
At the Center, Ms. Johnson's duties include reference services, supervising student interns and volunteers, processing collections, conducting research in the collections, giving tours, doing outreach including workshops and seminars, preserving collections, and many other activities. She is a past president of the Society of California Archivists and remains actively involved with the society. Most recently, Ms. Johnson taught the graduate level class in archives and manuscripts for the history department at California State University, Sacramento.
Pat Johnson will be presenting Researching Your Family History at the Center for Sacramento History. This class will focus on how to use the resources of both the public records and the private manuscripts held by the Center for Sacramento History to tell the stories of Sacramento's past generations. As an example, a case study will demonstrate how a researcher can use these records to find the answers to genealogical questions.
