Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Society for One-Place Studies, this unique event is spearheaded by the Society of Genealogists, the Society for One-Place Studies, Genealogy Stories, and the British Association for Local History. This is happening from Friday 22 September to 1 October 2023.
I have one
of the presentations you can see called, All About Cornwood, a talk is
about a small rural parish in southwest Devon and will delve into the place,
the people and the history of the area.
There are
130 talks, 93 speakers and 10 days of history fun!
Join like-minded history
lovers to explore the places your ancestors lived in, all from the comfort of
your own home. Inside our pop-up Facebook Group and on our YouTube channel,
you’ll be able to enjoy a plethora of free online bite-sized recorded talks
from a wide range of speakers (all of whom have kindly donated their time to
celebrate One Place Studies).
With event sponsors
including eminent organizations like The Genealogist, Name and Place,
University of Strathclyde, Pharos Tutors, The Historic Towns Trust and Family
Tree magazine, you can be sure to enjoy a truly engaging educational
opportunity like no other.
This one-of-a-kind event
isn’t just about idly watching though! It’s specially designed to help you to
take part and start diving into local history. Alongside the wide collection of
talks on research tools, analytical techniques, and place history, you’ll be
provided with motivating challenge instructions. Perhaps you’ll even start a
One-Place Study. You’ll be able to download a free challenge workbook to record
your learning activity and complete challenge tasks.
Plus, to celebrate your
amazing progress you’ll be offered the opportunity to enter a prize draw
consisting of a wide range of history goodies (such as 1-year membership to the
