Live Guidance to Remove your Fold3 Frustrations
Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CDT. Space is limited to 10 people.
Searching for World War II records on Fold3 can feel like wandering through a massive archive without a map. Many researchers know the information is there—yet still come up empty.
- Records are often hidden in unexpected collections, indexed in confusing ways, or buried behind recent platform updates that change how searches behave.
- What you found last year may not appear today.
- Names are misspelled, units are misfiled, and critical context is rarely explained.
This group coaching experience is designed to solve those exact frustrations. I’ll guide you step-by-step through:
- Smarter search strategies
- Ways to uncover “hidden” collections
- Techniques for working around Fold3’s ever-changing interface.
- We will go beyond basic keyword searches to unit records, reports, photographs, and lesser-known databases where the real stories often hide.
We’ll explore how to read between the lines of military documents, connect scattered records into a meaningful timeline, and place your veteran’s experience into historical context. You’ll leave with practical skills you can use immediately and a clearer path to the answers you’ve been seeking.
If you’re tired of hitting dead ends, wondering what you’re missing, or feeling overwhelmed by changes to Fold3, this coaching will help you move from confusion to confidence. The records are there. Let’s find the context—and the gold—together.
This is a 90-minute live Zoom Group Coaching meeting – specifically for NARA Catalog research.
After registering, you’ll provide details about the veteran you’re researching, what you’ve already found, and where you’re stuck. This allows me to tailor the session to the real challenges in the room.
This is not a general presentation. It’s active, personalized research support. Attendance live on Zoom is strongly encouraged. A replay will be sent to registrants after the live event.
