Reading Old Documents (one-day course)

The Institute of Genealogical and Heraldic Studies (IGHS) runs a one-day course in reading old documents.

Many people shy away from research prior to 1750 due to an inability to read and interpret the documentation. This day seminar is designed to introduce the student to the documents and handwriting encountered in local and family history research. Practical examples will illustrate the methodology of “learning to read” old documents.
