Notes:
Ten Things you need to know about newspaper research. This event will be held ONLINE. Presenter: Sue Reid Family historians also know that newspapers are indispensable for adding detail to family history. We are fortunate that so many free digital newspapers are available. Each newspaper site or platform has similarities to and differences from other sites, but there are some principles you should know about when searching newspapers. For example, when was the long s (also known as the medial s or initial s) used, and how can we search for words that may contain the long s.This presentation will look at some present key issues that will assist you in your search, no matter what site you are using. Limited places are available for each session, so bookings on Eventbrite are essential. This event is held in QLD time, AEST: no daylight saving.
