Did you wonder why we didn’t ask much about interest in writing your family history in the recent survey? Well this is why.
A small dedicated team of GSV members has been working on a new course for months.
This short course aims to inspire and educate family historians about how to write their family stories. It will assist in identifying a topic and audience, develop participants skills in use of accurate language and historical evidence in writing an engaging narrative, and develop awareness of different formats and genres. Participants will receive expert and peer feedback.
The course will be led by Professor Peter Sherlock and Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young, and supported by a team of six skilled mentors.
We are excited to be offering this new course to our members.
Bookings open 9am Tuesday 2 September
