Digital Humanities and Family History @ ONLINE LECTURE
Digital humanities is an area of research and teaching at the intersection of computing and the humanities, which has resulted in history and social science departments at academic institutions, as well as libraries, digitizing research materials and compiling historical databases for computer analysis and interpretation. None of the resulting freely-available websites have been developed for genealogists, but many are wonderfully helpful for the work we do.
This presentation will talk about the best of the sites that have been developed over the last few years, while also looking at what’s new.

Speaker: Marian Press is a retired academic librarian who has been researching her family history and sharing what she has found for 30+ years. She has recently begun writing up the results of all these years’ work and self publishing them in book form.
