The Family History Federation has now launched Episode 5 of its new series of Really Useful Podcasts.
This new episode focuses on One-Place Studies. The website describes it :
"Joe is joined by Janet Few, historian, President of the Family History Federation, former chair of the Society for One-Place Studies and author on the subject, Pam Smith, former professional genealogist and passionate local historian who is co-founder of the local history data management app Name & Place and Elizabeth Walne, professional genealogist, writer, tutor, speaker and One-Place researcher.
One-Place Studies are rich local and community histories that involve similar skills and sources as family history. We discuss how to go about choosing and carrying out your own study and the pleasures and pitfalls of doing so."
A One-Place Study is not something I have considered starting yet, but it is always useful to know how to go about it, and I certainly need to investigate if there is already a One-Place Study being conducted in any of the areas I an researching.
