The Internet Genealogy Community Study Blog | An Australian 'Internet Studies' PhD student researching online genealogy within the broader context of hobbyist Internet usage. How do genealogists use the Internet? What are the consequences of the development of genealogy as a significant Internet-based activity? This blog is my academic head-space, so stay tuned, and perhaps all will be revealed!

My thesis outline has now been revised and updated. The revision has largely come about via the reorganisation of the core section of my thesis ... i.e. the original research. Originally I was going to have five chapters of core writings: one chapter each for the different sections of the survey findings, including an in-depth discussion about them with supporting qualitative research; then a fifth chapter about the wider implications of the findings for the Internet at large.

I have found, however, that Publishing (for example) has some cross over with the Interacting theme, and the same can be said for other thematic combinations. As a result, I will now have two larger chapters concentrating on a different mapping of the results. Firstly, there will be a Findings chapter covering the survey data, with no interpratation. Secondly there will be two chapters looking at 'being' a genealogist online, and being 'part' of the genealogical community online, supported by applicable qualitative research. Finally, the fourth core chapter will discuss (as mentioned above) the wider implications of the findings for the Internet at large.
