Genealogy Conferences: a select list of published papers

Papers presented at family history conferences teach us about historical context, research methods, sources, organising and preserving our data etc. The advice in many of these papers is still relevant today. Titles listed below are in my home reference library, and also in many genealogical libraries. For family history research in England, Scotland or Ireland, I especially recommend the papers by Michael Gandy and Sherry Irvine.

Other Suggestions

I will not be adding to this list, because the Queensland Family History Society is creating something similar. Their list will include conferences whose published proceedings I did not buy.

My other genealogy sites have additional advice and names.
