The Scottish Institute

Christine Woodcock wrote to let me know about The Scottish Institute, a small group experience, limited to 15 registrants she is organizing for October 2015. It's for Professional and Semi-Professional genealogists who may or may not conduct research for clients with Scottish ancestry.

"The week will offer speakers on several topics including the holdings of the GRO, NAS (combined as the NRS), palaeography, National Health archives, maps, newspapers, the holdings of the NLS, court records and the efforts of the Maxwells at Scottish Indexes, ancestral tourism and the Scottish Genealogy Network.

The week culminates with a joint Professional Development Day with members of the Scottish Genealogy Network. This day of workshops will be followed by social networking with our colleagues in Scotland which will provide you with the opportunity to make important connections on the ground in Scotland.

The week is well balanced with 20 hours of  learning and 20 hours of research."
