Great news! All of the handouts on this page are now up on our official site. You should be able to download them safely, without any need to access Box.net. There may be additional links around the blog that haven’t yet been transferred, but the handouts page should be done. Please let us know at askwsl@secstate.wa.gov if you have any further problems.

What a great resource. Thanks Wastatelib! We have so many people who come in to our small rural library asking geneology questions and we never knew quite how to assist them. This site kinda pulls much of that together for us so we can direct patrons where to get started. We’re putting together a printed resource so patrons can search through it and take home a copy of your lists is need be. We always receive so much help from Wastatelib, thanks again.

Thank you very much for making these items pdfs. It makes them accessible from our school district computers. There is still a policy of not accessing blogs and our firewall was blocking when we tried to use the links on this list. These are very helpful handouts and I think they will be used a great deal by our librarians now that they can get to them.
