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!

Fantastic to see that my PhD work being followed by the online genealogical community, as noted over at Random Genealogy:

It's very interesting that while genealogy has spawned more than a few degrees, this is one of the few, if not the only, degree/thesis based around the study of genealogists themselves, and how they use the internet.

It's a great premise, after all, the two most revolutionary things to occur in genealogy in our lifetimes have been the advent of personal computers and access to the internet.

And while I was on Maternity Leave, the ABC in Australia linked to my PhD research as follow-up information from their TV show "Genealogy", which aired October 2005 as part of their How The Quest Was Won series.
