Learn@QFHS – More Newspapers: Overseas and Australian
Starts: 11 Oct 2024 at 10:00 AM
Ends: 11 Oct 2024 at 11:30 AM
Notes:
THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD ONLINE. Presenter: Sue Reid Newspapers are essential to family history research. We can find rich detail about people's personal, professional, and business lives from the content of newspapers—births, marriages, and deaths, community involvement, letters to the editor, and business advertisements. There is no limit to the variety of material. Australian researchers are well served for historic newspaper content with Trove Digitised Newspapers, but what about newspapers from overseas? What can we use? Also, what can we use to fill in some of the gaps in the titles on Trove? In this presentation, Sue Reid will discuss free sources of overseas and Australian (apart from Trove) newspapers you can use to discover more about your family. Attend online and/or view on catchup for a month after the meeting (when speakers have given consent). Limited places are available for each session, so bookings on Eventbrite are essential when the link becomes available. For suggestions for training course topics please contact the Education team at education@qfhs.org.au. Note: This event is held in QLD time, AEST: no daylight saving. (GMT+10)
