Kol Koreh - Call for Papers
 
The Israel Genealogical Society is pleased to issue this call for papers
for the 7th Annual One Day Seminar [Yom Iyun] to take place at Beit
Hatefutzot in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, 29 November 2011 / 3 Kislev 5772.
 
This year the central theme will be:
 
Genealogy is Multifaceted!
 
Genealogy covers every aspect of the lives of our families:  their daily
lives, their emigration and immigration, marriages and divorces, births
and deaths, education and occupations, property, illnesses, and even the
food they ate.
 
Research in every area of genealogy today is aided in nontraditional
ways, by understanding how to manipulate the latest technology, be it
twitter, Facebook, webinars, blogs, ebooks or other options available
through the internet.
 
This year our seminar will be divided into two parts. The first part
will include presentations on different aspects of genealogy, from
demography to everyday living. The second part will take a lecture to
show how technology could be applied to researching that topic. There
will be workshops at different levels where we will learn how to use
various technical aspects to advance our research methods.
 
We invite you to propose lectures on any discipline linked to genealogy
and if you have used any of the various methods  of electronic research,
please indicate that in your proposal. New ways of research will be
covered in separate hands on sessions. If you would like to lead
one of these, please indicate that.
 
Length of your proposal:  Up to 100 words
Indicate your preferred language of presentation[s]: English or Hebrew
or both
Please include a short biography: Under 50 words
Last date for receiving your proposal: 15 June 2011
Address to which to send your proposal: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
