Genealogy and Local History Section

Scope

The Genealogy and Local History Section aims to provide a voice for genealogy and local history librarians in the international information community, to facilitate networking among subject specialists and libraries, archives, museums, and related societies and institutions, and to encourage the development of genealogy and local history collections and user services.

Strategic Plan

2006-2007  |  2004-2005

Projects

We invite you to participate in the Section's:
Survey of Genealogical Sources in National Libraries and National Archive Repositories around the world.

The survey results will be used to gather information on genealogical collections, services and personnel in a variety of institutions, and will hopefully lead not only to a greater awareness of the work of this Section but also provide useful data for Section officers on the latest developments and trends in the world-wide genealogical community.
