FGS/NEHGS Boston Conf. Aug-Sep 2006 - a goldmine !

Post by Paddy Casey » Tue May 08, 2007 8:29 am

Sharon Carberry just flagged a goldmine of online material relating to the The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) Conference held August 30 - September 2, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. The society recorded the lectures and has made them available as MP3 files for purchase and downloading from http://www.lulu.com at very reasonable prices.

Unfortunately these are audio files only so one cannot see the slides and the syllabus that the lecturers are referring to. The audio files are nevertheless very interesting to listen to. I contacted the Society to obtain copies of the syllabus and was told that they have plans to put it online but this will take a little while. I'll post news here as soon as I know more.

In the meantime, here are the links needed to get at the conference programme and the audio files:
