Whether objects were bought, found or inherited, these artefacts offer glimpses into the past- a time, place, event or person we wish to remember and share with the future. As custodians of pieces of our history, we are faced with how to maintain these items. Our family history may be held in documents, photographs, books, clothing or textiles, sometimes complete collections of items such as coins, trading cards or stamps. Once you’ve determined what you have, it’s time to decide how you’ll care for these things.

The law, however, remains tied to particular geographic locations. This book discusses how specific laws — access to information, personal data protection, libel, copyright, and regulation of cemeteries — apply to anyone involved in genealogical research in Canada.

ISBN 0-9682524-5-1 (Hardcover)    More information BOOK - Genealogical Standards of Evidence, A Guide for Family Historians By Brenda Dougall Merriman Genealogy and family history revolve around issues of identification. Genealogical evidence is the information — analyzed and evaluated — that allows us to identify an individual, and event in his or her life or the relationship between individuals. In describing how we establish or argue points of identification through the use of various sources and information, we often hear or use such words as “evidence” or “proof” or “documentation.” This book will tell you about how the genealogical community developed standards of evidence and documentation, what those standards are and how you can apply them to your own work.
