The HCGS Technology Interest Group was reactivated last year so that members could learn about the tools that are available to assist members with their genealogical research. "Blogs" such as the one you are reading can be a great vehicle for sharing research with family and other stakeholders.
Kathy Reed has been blogging about her own family's history for more than two years. The more she has become involved in the blogging community, the more she has recognized the value in organizing her research and sharing it with others. In conjunction with the PLCH, Kathy will be offering a series of three classes on blogging about your family history.
An overview of the process was presented at an introductory session today at 1:00 PM. The same talk will be presented at the "Ask the Experts" Day at 10:00 AM on October 1st. At 1:00 the first hands-on session will be held in the Technology Lab associated with the Genealogy Local History Department.
Sessions 2 and 3 are scheduled for November 12th and December 3rd from 10:30 - 12:00. Registration is required for participation in the lab sessions. Call the Genealogy Desk to register.
All participants should be fairly comfortable with computers including the ability to conduct searches, add attachments and pictures. Resources and support will be provided to participants so that they can continue with their own projects between sessions.
Questions? email Kathy at khreed@cinci.rr.com and put "Blog support" in the subject line.
