Since writing and reports are a frequent topic of discussion on this list, I thought some of you might be interested in this free webinar on research logs being offered tomorrow by the Association of Professional Genealogists. It is completely free and open to the public. Hope to see some of you there! Kimberly Powell *Write or Regret it! Research Logs: How, When, and Why* Thursday, 30 March 2017, 8:30 PM EDT https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1890353339403707651 Research logs are an integral part of effective genealogical organization. Each project is different, so the research log should be adapted to each project. This lecture will introduce the importance of research logs, give examples of differing styles, and show how research logs are best used with other tools, including timelines and research plans. The research logs in this discussion will focus on using word document programs rather than specialized organizational programs. When used consistently, your research log will go from being a burden to keep up to a critical tool in your genealogical analysis arsenal.
