- NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH
- 16–20 July 2012
The National
Institute on Genealogical Research (N.I.G.R.), at the National Archives
in
Washington D.C. and College Park, Maryland, is an intensive program
offering
on-site examination of federal records. Designed for experienced
researchers, it is not an introduction to genealogy.
The 2012 program
focuses on commonly used records such as immigration, military, land,
African
American, and naturalization. Complementing those core lectures will be
presentations on lesser-known federal records useful to family
historians. The
group spends one day at Archives II in College Park, Maryland, and
there are optional
evening sessions at the Library of Congress and the DAR library.
Enrollment
is limited. Application
brochures will be mailed early February 2012. The class fills very quickly. Tuition is $350 for
applications postmarked on, or before, 15 May 2012, or $400 thereafter.
Scholarships are available. Add your name to our mailing list to
