Looking for a course that takes you on your next step beyond Intermediate Foundations, but you're not quite ready for Advanced Genealogical Methods? This is that "in-between" course that might be right for you!
Applied Genealogical Methods Workshop: Hands-on Skillbuilding, coordinated by Michael G. Hait, CG, AG, provides a unique blend of lectures and instructor-led exercises through which students will work directly with documents to learn and hone skills relating to the research process as a whole. These skills include source citation, research planning, evidence analysis, evidence correlation, and resolving conflicting information.
Faculty includes:
- LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson, JD, LLM, CG, CGL
- Paul K. Graham, AG, CG, CGL
- Scott Wilds, CG
This course includes a week-long homework assignment in which students will write a complete report for their files documenting a research problem of their choosing. The coordinator will provide critiques on their reports to help students further refine their techniques.
This is an intermediate-level course. Students should be familiar with most record types. Prior to class, a published, peer-reviewed case study will be assigned for reading along with questions for discussion in a class session.
Genealogy Standards (2nd edition, revised) is a required textbook for this course. Students should familiarize themselves with chapter 1 before class starts.
Applied Genealogical Methods Workshop: Hands-on Skillbuilding is scheduled to meet online January 23–27, 2023. All SLIG 2023 courses will be offered virtually this year. (See you in person in Salt Lake City in 2024!)
See the SLIG 2023 Courses web page for more information, including updates.
SLIG 2023 registration opens Saturday, July 16, at 10:00 am MDT.
