RACC Roots
We have a new RACC Roots project – identify your ancestors’ homes on a map.
Near the Instruction Area is a world map on a window on which we are encouraging staff and students to identify their ancestors’ (or their own) countries of origin.
There is a box of dots and a Sharpie pen at the Service Desk .
Write your initials on the dots and add them to the map. Yes, some areas will be overrun by dots, but that’s part of the fun. Please join us as we explore our roots.
