SUMMARY:House Histories Course
DESCRIPTION:Researching the history of a house can be both exciting and rewarding, revealing fascinating stories of those that lived there before you. Do you have a house that you are interested in knowing more about, have you come up against a dead end or do you just want to know how to approach the subject? \nIf so, then this two-part online course with Dr Margaret Simons will help you reveal people, dates, events and much more using familiar resources like the census, but also introduce you to the less familiar such as the national Farm Survey, ‘Modern Domesday’, the 1910 Inland Revenue valuation survey, rate books, tithe records, local authority records, sales particulars and auction catalogues. You are welcome to bring your housing project to these sessions.\nTwo sessions: Friday 30th January and Friday 6th February, 2 – 4pm\nWeek 1. Establishing what you know already and a starting point for your research.  Identifying those records that will get you started.\nWeek 2. Where next?  Using the facts and figures of our data collection as our base we will consider those sources that can help us to give context to our research and flesh out our house history.\nPre-booking is required as numbers are limited to allow everyone to be able to participate in the course. Bookings close one day before the course starts.\nTo enjoy this course you will need a computer device which has speakers and a microphone. Ideally, also a web-cam. You also need to be able to access your emails from it. First-time users of Zoom will be asked to download a small piece of software. For technical help email: booking@berksfhs.org.uk \nTo book, scroll down.\n
