Architectural Historians Rebekah Helfgot and Jennifer Corcoran will discuss how to research the history of your house. They will explain how you can explore the physical and social history of your home or neighborhood and what resources are available to you. They will present research on two local houses as examples and will explain how you can find similar information for your home. There will also be time for questions to get your research started.
