Researching e-Genealogy

A PhD study is underway at the Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, examining Internet family history resources and their users. This will investigate the users themselves, how users view both e-genealogical resources and libraries, and how these resources are used within the research process. An eventual aim of the project is to highlight methods of promoting the “added value” of UK Local Studies Library Collections, increasing their visibility to users online. The research also aims to identify, categorise and examine the available resources: developing specific evaluative criteria and promoting increased awareness and understanding within the library community in order to maintain a quality level of service for genealogical researchers in libraries.

The first stage of the project is a 5-minute online survey, available at http://www.researchingegenealogy.co.uk. This hopes to gather more information about anyone accessing UK information online for their family history research. I would be grateful if you could pass to any potentially interested parties.

If you require any further information, please contact prs.friday@rgu.ac.uk.
Many thanks,
Kate Friday
