Academic and Family History journals offer a wealth of material for the genealogical researcher. This month, Family History Tips and Tools will offer the opportunity to consider how you can embrace using journals in your research. Journals are an egalitarian resource: suitable for both beginner and more experienced researchers, and available, in various forms, to remote and local members.

The session will include a series of brief presentations to pique your curiosity but leave plenty of time for discussion. The presentations will include:

  • A brief guide to the GSV journal collection and our resources on how to use it
  • Use a journal to enhance your family history: a case study of the Victorian Historical Journal from the Royal Historical Society of Victoria - A presentation by Dr Cheryl Griffin
  • Accessing the State Library of Victoria's academic journal collection
  • Linking Google Scholar and your State Library of Victoria membership for free access to journals
