Patrons of the Lambton
Room are welcoming its new
Olistorian, Dana Johnson to
ie position at the County's
archives.
Johnson filled the vacant
position this winter and is
already settling in and work-
ing to promote the Lambton
Room's work. A new blog,
The Lambton Room Hub:
Musings from the Archive,
was recently launched at
www.thelambtonroom.blogs-
pot.com/ which features
interesting stories from the
archives and information On
lannbton County history.
"1 initially became fasci-
nated with history during a
World 1listory course in high
school and pursued that
interest in post -secondary
studies," said Johnson.
"Working in this field will pro-
vide many opportunities to
engage in research projects
and learn about Lambton
County's history and its
families."
Johnson was raised in
Alberta and received a Bach
elan of Arts in 1 listory from the
University of Alberta in 2007.
In 2009, Johnson settled in
London, Ontario, where she
received a Master of Arts in
Public History at 'the Univer-
sity of Western Ontario. In the
sunnier of 2010, Johnson
worked at the County of
Lamhton's Oil Museum of
Canada as a Research Intern,
where she learned about Can-
ada's oil history and her
appreciation for Lambton
County's history grew.
The Lambton Room is a
one -stop -spot for family his-
tory research in Lambton
County. From beginner to
expert genealogist, the l,ramh-
ton Room contains many
documents that help provide
clues to the past. Family
records, census records, birth

information. The archives

records, Land Registry infor-
mation, historical atlases,
