Understanding Family History & Family Historians

In collaboration with the Local Studies SIG and in partnership with the University of Tasmania, Public Libraries Victoria invites you to join Dr Kate Bagnall, coordinator of the Diploma of Family History at the University of Tasmania, for a free workshop on understanding family history and family historians.

Family historians are frequent users of public libraries – whether to access genealogical websites like Ancestry Library Edition, to use onsite collections and resources, or to draw on the expertise of librarians. In this workshop, Kate will discuss the phenomenon of family history. The workshop will consider key family history skills and challenges, what motivates Australia’s family historians, and how we can support them to do family history well.
