[Genealib] National Institute on Genealogical Research (N.I.G.R.)

[Beth Stahr]

Librarians:

I've been asked to post this information to our listserve. I attended 
N.I.G.R. a few years ago. It was a fascinating week. Any librarian who 
works with genealogists would benefit from this quality educational 
experience. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the 
program.

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 2007 program focuses on commonly used immigration, military, land, 
cartographic, African American, and non-population census records. 
Complementing those core lectures will be presentations on lesser-known 
federal records useful to family historians. One day at Archives II in 
College Park, Maryland, and optional evening sessions at the Library of 
Congress and the DAR library are included.

Enrollment is limited. Application brochures will be mailed in February 
2007. The class fills very quickly. Tuition is $350 for applications 
postmarked on, or before, 15 May 2007, or $400 thereafter. Scholarships are 
available. For more information about the 2007 program, or to obtain an 
application brochure, see the institute's Web site at 
<http://www.rootsweb.com/~natgenin/>www.rootsweb.com/~natgenin/ and add 
your name to the mail list; or e-mail <NatInsGen at juno.com>; or write to 
NIGR, P.O. Box 724, Lanham, MD 20703-0724.
