Social history looks at the ordinary person. It's "history. . . with the people put back in." It examines family life, food, education, immigration, death, labor, and industry as experienced by "real people." For family historians, social history helps us understand our ancestor's life and adds historical context.
Exploring Their Life: The Social History of Your Family, coordinated by Gena Philibert-Ortega, MA, MAR, introduces social history systematically by modeling new research skills, introducing sources, and imparting historical backgrounds to events of interest to the genealogist. You will learn how to do comprehensive historical research, benefit from a focused look at historical topics, and learn how to present this information to your family. This course will be different from any social history course Gena Philibert-Ortega has offered before.
