Pharos and the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History announce new online courses Posted 06 September 2008 By Press Release 06 September, 2008 ISBGFH has presented the British Institute in Salt Lake City since 2001 and wants to expand its educational opportunities to those who cannot travel to the class room sessions each year, a factor that is increasingly important as fuel costs rise. Pharos has extensive experience with distance learning and offers a selection of programs in British and Irish research. One of the Pharos instructors, Sherry Irvine, taught for five years at the British Institute. Under the new arrangement, courses are open to everyone, whether or not they are members of ISBGFH. Currently, three courses are available: US Immigration and Naturalization, taught by George G. Morgan; England, Scotland and Wales Online: Transfer Your Skills taught by Sherry Irvine; and, British Isles Research - Solving Problems, Planning Strategies taught by Sherry Irvine. These courses will be offered successively between October and next September. Details on the contents of each course, length, cost, and how online learning works can be found on the website of each organization.
Sherry Irvine, Course Director for Pharos, said: "This is a good fit. It was stimulating and rewarding to teach at the British Institute and I now look forward to continuing educational efforts with ISBGFH. Online courses are the best way for genealogists to expand their research skills and records knowledge, not only because of flexibility but because the Web helps research in so many ways - history, geography, catalogues, records guidance as well as data."
