The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in the United States has posted two of the May sessions of its virtual genealogy presentations on YouTube.

Finding Genealogy Resources and Tools on Archives.gov
Instead of holding a single-day event as in previous years, the sessions are being broadcast individually on YouTube during May and June. The 2020 Virtual Genealogy Fair, scheduled for last fall, was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following four sessions will each begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time.
May 19 — Tips and Tools for Engaging Family with Your Research Finds
June 1 — From Here to There: Researching Office of Indian Affairs Employees
June 8 — Civil War Union Noncombatant Personnel: Teamsters, Laundresses, Nurses, Sutlers, and More
June 15 — Merchant Marine Records at the National Archives at St. Louis
Everyone is welcome. No registration required. Just go to the YouTube channel at the scheduled time.
