A librarian, archivist, or genealogy-center staff member joins in person or by video to show how letters, photos, newspapers, and oral histories are organized and what clues each source can provide. Students ask prepared questions, compare which source types best fit their investigation, and complete a source-plan menu identifying what they need to gather first. This community connection grounds the next phase in authentic research choices.
