I almost missed telling you about the 2018 Virtual Genealogy Fair offered (free of charge) by the National Archives. It’s tomorrow, October 24. This is the sixth year for the conference, offered by webcast. It’s a wonderful resource.
You can read the lineup, with detailed descriptions of the sessions and links to handouts, here. Detailed descriptions of the sessions are posted here, which is also where handouts will be posted when they’re available. (Classes are marked either Beginner” or “Experienced.”) There will be six one-hour sessions, bookended by opening and closing remarks. The even starts at 10 am eastern and ends at 4.
I’m busy with a client tomorrow, so I was thrilled to read that I don’t have to watch live. The webcast will be available on YouTube to watch later. You don’t have to register.
Special thanks to my cousin, Jerry Brown, who alerted me to this year’s conference. It had flown beneath my radar this year.
Hazel Thornton says
Thanks, Janine! I noticed, in checking this out, that not only will this year’s conference recordings be available to watch later, so will all the sessions from the previous 5 years!
Elaine Niedrich says
Is there a date for watching this on YouTube after the live presentation?
Janine Adams says
It looks like the presentations are available now!
Kim says
Oh, thanks! I didn’t know about this! I probably won’t be able to watch live, but I’ll try to watch them here and there over the next week, as well as look at some of the older ones!
