Over the last year I have been working as part of a team of volunteers on a project for the North of Ireland Family History Society (https://www.nifhs.org), to index the seventy-seven North Irish Roots Journals from 1984-2021 as part of a new Guide for NIFHS Members. Led by Audrey McKeown, the team also included Kate Brinko (USA), Amy Abbott (England), Margaret Armstrong (Northern Ireland), Alison Balzer (Canada), Elizabeth McIver (Scotland), and Jon Kwiatkowski (USA).
From Audrey: “The purpose of producing this Guide has been to provide members with a key resource document of over 260 pages to use as part of their family history resources. It lists Titles, Authors, Surnames, Locations, Resources (over 480 listed), Transcriptions completed, Books, and Book Reviews (320+). It also highlights the work of the NIFHS Volunteers and Branches over the years.”
Most of these Journals are accessible to members in the JSTOR Ireland Collection. The Guide is available to members in the Members Only Content section of the website.
To join the NIFHS, please visit https://www.nifhs.org/membership/ - you can join a specific branch (Ballymena, Belfast, Causeway Coast and Glens, Foyle, Killyleagh, Larne, Lisburn, Newtownabbey, South Tyrone, Tyrone), or join as an associate member.
I hope the guide helps – I'm already making some interesting finds!
