SGS Organizing for Genealogy series starts February 3, 2026!
This course will address the challenge of organizing the large quantity of information we accumulate as we research. With targeted and thoughtful presentations and exercises, this course will help participants create a system of organization or adapt their current system to meet their specific research needs.
Successful organization starts with organizing ourselves. Over the course of four sessions we will look at why and how we research, building the foundation of an effective personal organizational system. Questions about who, what, where, and when we research clarify how best to apply our time, energy, and resources. This enables us to create and maintain a system of organization that best supports our needs as we engage in genealogical research.
Four weekly, two-hour, online class sessions
Session 1: Organizing Our Self – Our thoughts, actions, time, and space
Session 2: Organizing Our System – Paper systems and digital systems
Session 3: Organizing Our Workflow – Research, records, and resources
Session 4: Pulling It All Together – Developing a tailored organization system
