Until the end of September, Ontario Ancestors is accepting proposals for their monthly 2022 webinar series.
The live webinars take place the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time on Zoom.
Mini-conferences
Ontario Ancestors is also looking for guest speakers who are interested in presenting at their new online quarterly mini-conference learning opportunities in 2022.
All submissions will be considered for both, unless otherwise indicated on the submission.
The society is looking for proposals on a wide range of topics. The top subjects from their recent survey on webinar topics people would like to see are:
-
- Ontario Land Records
- Immigration
- Genetic Genealogy
- Research in Ancestors’ County of Origin
- Technology and Tools
- Comparison of Genealogy Websites
- Organization/Storage of Records
Selected speakers need to be prepared to provide Ontario and/or Canadian specific examples, where applicable, in their presentations.
Speakers may submit up to three proposals for consideration. All submissions will be reviewed but only those who are chosen will be contacted. An honorarium is provided for webinar presentations.
The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.
For more information, visit Ontario Ancestors’ website, where the online submission form is located, or contact webinar@ogs.on.ca.
Archival centres and Canadiana
I completed the survey, but neglected to mention two other topics that interest me.
It would be good to see webinars by archivists on how to navigate their online collections and what genealogy gems are only available on site. I’d also like to learn more about the somewhat mysterious Canadiana website.
