The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies

The School of Family History

Monday 8th June 2026
12:00pm - 2:00pm
Location: Online

There is a growing desire to digitise historical records, particularly within voluntary settings such as local societies and individuals working on larger projects. This interest arises from the aim to preserve and make accessible a wide array of historical documents, far beyond the scope of individual genealogy projects focused on a single family. However, the challenge lies in the technical expertise required to undertake such endeavours, especially for those without the resources of online organisations like Ancestry or libraries and local archives.

This talk aims to address these challenges by providing practical guidance on digitising and organising your transcribed data. 

Our online tutorials provide guidance on a broad range of topics. They are open to everyone.

In order to be able to join the tutorial you will need access to ZOOM. On the day of the Tutorial you will be sent a unique ID and password.

Please allow for two hours for the session, including joining and discussions. The talk will last approximately an hour.

The numbers are limited. If the bookings are full, please contact the registrar@ihgs.ac.uk as new dates will be added.
