2010 Gregath Events

Oklahoma Books and Authors Showcase will be presented on Saturday, October 9^th.  The experience, open and free to the public, will take place in the Embassy Suites Ballroom, 3332 South 79^th East Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

          The Showcase is designed to promote talented authors from Oklahoma and/or books that touch on our great state.  Many authors representing several genres will be present to autograph their work.  Attendees are free to enjoy browsing and shopping among some of the finest fiction and non-fiction books and authors Oklahoma has to offer.  Several genres will be  shown, including but not limited to: History, Inspirational, Genealogy, Religious, Children, Romance and much more.

In conjunction with the Showcase, a genealogical seminar is also being presented.  William Welge, Director, Archives and Manuscript Division, Oklahoma Historical Society will share his wealth of knowledge with those attending.  Building upon his personal experience in archiving records and materials, Oklahoma’s leading authority, historian and archivist, will delve into the various types of records available in most archives.  The presentation will be covered in three sections: first, Indian Territory; second, Oklahoma Territory and lastly, the state of Oklahoma.  He will also explain how to put such records to work for the researcher. Any researcher who attends will likely find possible avenues of fruitful discoveries in the OHS Research Division.

A special dinner will kick off the weekend activities, on Friday evening.  “Dinner with Oklahoma Authors” is also open to the public, with profits benefiting the Friends of the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives.  Plan to enjoy an evening with various Oklahoma authors, while contributing to this most deserving project.  Enjoy great food, people and fellowship, all of which is tax deductible.  

All three separate, yet complimenting, events are being presented by the Gregath Company of Wyandotte, Oklahoma, with the cooperation of the Friends of the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives.  There is limited seating for both the Genealogy Seminar and the Dinner.  Reservations will be made, as space allows through Friday, September 24, 2010.  More information is available at www.gregathcompany.com/workshop/2010 or by calling 918-542-4148.  It is the hope of those involved, that by showcasing the vast talents of Oklahoma authors, books dealing with our state and archival studies within the state’s premier archival repository, those attending will come away with much more than knowledge.
