Hidden Gems in Print: Periodicals and Serial Publications for UK Family History Research at the SoG and Elsewhere
Delve into the treasure chest of SoG’s collections. In each session, you’ll learn more about one of our collections or record sets. You’ll discover how you can access and use these sources to further your research or historical knowledge.
Periodicals and serial publications are often overlooked goldmines in genealogical research. From local family history society journals to learned local record society monographs to national publications, these resources can offer unique insights, rare records, and personal stories not found in mainstream databases. This talk explores the types of periodicals available at the SoG and elsewhere, and how to mine them for valuable family history clues. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned researchers looking to enrich their ancestral stories.
