This week our panelists provided an example from their own research that relate to Chapter 14 – “Citing Images of Previously Published Material” from Mastering Genealogical Documentation by Thomas W. Jones, 2017 (Arlington, VA: National Genealogical Society). [Available from the publisher at www.ngsgenealogy.org and in Amazon’s Kindle bookstore.]

MYRT’S MUSINGS
It is particularly important when discussing documentation guidelines that we observe copyright. You will note our panelists typically compare and contrast the author’s idea with those of Elizabeth Shown Mills. We realize both authors provide guidelines, but it is up to individual researchers to adequately describe the type of record or artifact they are viewing and it’s context historically.
The experience of just watching the recording using Zoom was great. We can really see the homework well. The presenter speaking is viewed pretty small, but that doesn’t matter, as the focus is on the printed page.
Thanks for the feedback, Lisa. I think the Zoom interface will work well when we go exploring software and websites.
