Beyond the 1939 Register: Additional Records of National Registration (1939-1991) –Richard Holt
The 1939 Register is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to available records, but knowing what exists and how to access information is an entirely different matter. Discover how the registers were used from 1939 until 1991. Also, what information is contained in the redacted section of the 1939 Register?
The recording of this presentation is no longer available.

Introduction to social media – Joe Saunders
Social media is a key part of the modern world (whether we like it or not!) and can be incredibly useful for family history. It may be used to learn about events and resources in the world of genealogy, connect with likeminded people and to share our own questions and findings. This talk explores some of the different ways family historians can use social media, looks at some of the different platforms and offers some tips and tricks for beginners and intermediates.
