“The Archives of the Louisiana National Guard Museum is located at Jackson Barracks,” said Stephen Stuart, GRSNO president. “Its mission is to educate the public on the sacrifices, contributions, and heritage of the state’s citizen soldiers and airmen throughout the history of Louisiana.”
Boyko will provide an overview of the museum and its genealogical resources. She is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg (Anthropology), the University of Victoria (Museum Studies), and the University of Tennessee Master of Library and Information Science Program. She has more than 25 years of experience in archaeology and museum curation and archival management.
Boyko specializes in the preservation and accessibility of historical objects, books, documents, photos, and digital information. She has been essential to the establishment of museum programs and facilities at Fort Bragg for the Department of the Army and at Fort Pickett for the Virginia National Guard, in addition to reviving the Hurricane Katrina-affected archives and collections.
The Genealogical Research Society of New Orleans was established in 1960 to foster an interest in family research and to encourage preservation of genealogical records in New Orleans, and in Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast south. The society welcomes new members and encourages publication in New Orleans Genesis articles, family histories, and other research material of interest to its membership.
