    In honor of Veterans Day, learn how to find resources for researching military veterans and their stories using readily available tools for genealogical research. David will share hints and tips for genealogists and family historians to locate their ancestors’ past and present involvement in wars.

    David Little is the Education Curator for the Broomfield Veterans Museum and consults for the Denver Public Library, National Archives, USFS, US Army Museum system and other museums, libraries and resources around the world. For more than 40 years, he has provided exhibit materials and support for museums around the country. As the Staff Historian for the 10th Mountain Division Foundation for more than 25 years, Little has worked on the history of Camp Hale near Leadville, CO.

    The Broomfield Veterans Museum honors local veterans from all service branches spanning U. S. conflicts and peacekeeping efforts from the Civil War to the present.  Founded in 2002 by six late Broomfield-area World War II veterans, the museum’s legacy is now carried forward by dedicated volunteers, many of whom are veterans. The museum features nine exhibit rooms, a library with over 3,000 history and military books, hundreds of archived videos of veteran interviews, and a multimedia room that seats over 40. It is free and open to the public and offers both docent-guided and self-guided tours. Twice a month, the museum hosts “Coffee and Conversation” for visitors of all ages featuring fascinating stories from local veterans and historians.

    The museum provides opportunities for veterans to connect, for students to visit and learn about our nation’s history, and for groups who come to explore rotating exhibits.
