Ten Steps to a One-Place Study
Janet Few

One-place studies are a fascinating blend of family history and local history. This form of micro-research is becoming increasingly popular amongst genealogists and local historians. A one-place study involves investigating a small geographical area in minute detail, researching the inhabitants, the buildings and the institutions within that place, as well as the events that took place there.

This booklet is a short introductory guide for those who are just starting on their one-place journey and for more experienced one-placers who would like direction or inspiration, or who are seeking a more organised approach to their study. It outlines ten steps, that will lead to a successful one-place study, ranging from choosing your place, through collecting and analysing data, to presenting and preserving your study. Although the precise sources that are available will vary, the techniques described can be followed regardless of where in the world your place is located. For this reason, the author refers to types of record, rather than specific sources.

It is available in print www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1911438182 or as an ebook www.amazon.co.uk/Ten-Steps-One-Place-Study-Janet-ebook/dp/B086HP46WY Price for either version £5.

It is also available at amazon.com amazon.au and amazon.ca.
