IFLA Publication
International Genealogy and Local History
Papers presented by the Genealogy and Local History Section.
Edited by Ruth Hedegaard and Elizabeth Anne Melrose
International Genealogy and Local History as Nr 130 in the
IFLA Publications Series.
This book contains the papers delivered at sessions organised by the
Genealogy and Local History Section at the annual conferences of the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
(IFLA) between 2001 and 2005; many of these are updated versions of the
original presentations.
A wide range of significant issues and trends in historical and
family research is covered. The authors, all experts in their own
fields, address those engaged in delivering genealogy and local history
services in libraries, archives and museums across the world. Moreover
they focus on the growing army of enthusiasts directly engaged in
tracing their own ancestral and local history.
Several papers give useful hints on how various resources can be
used to further personal research. These include the exciting
opportunities offered by the digitisation of primary resources and by
the impact of the powerful new technology, among other things now on
offer through DNA profiling.
