I will be speaking on:
Digitising Family
Records
Do you need to do something with
those boxes of family stuff cluttering the spare room? Do you need to
understand the techniques of how to archive the contents of your boxes
appropriately for this technological age?
Learn the basics of digitising your
records with a flat-bed scanner. The topics covered include image resolution,
colour management, use of different file types, file naming and management. We
will also review equipment and backup options suitable for the task.
Obscure Place Names
and Parish Maps
Frustrated with not finding the
place named on your ancestor’s certificate? This session will investigate
reasons why that place name may have eluded you.
It will cover resources that are
available to assist you in finding your locality in New South Wales, the
background to NSW Parish maps, use of the HLRV (Historic Land Records Viewer)
where you can view Parish maps and how to print or download the selected Parish
map to your computer.
