Genealogy Resources
Description: This class is intended to make researchers aware of the resources available for conducting scholarly genealogy research at the Watson Library. Among the resources to be discussed are Heritage Quest (US Census records), the New York Times archive, and American Periodical Series Online. We will also look at prominent online genealogy sites like Ancestry.com. The class will concentrate on resources for the United States but will include a limited number of resources for Europe and Asia.
This class focuses on scholarly genealogy research; a second genealogy class is planned for the fall which will include resources for researching personal family histories.
Class Level: Intermediate – I have some familiarity with the Watson Library and am looking for resources beyond the basics.
