Genealogy has become a popular pastime and a growing profession worldwide. The majority of the public likely develop an interest in genealogy through the various family history themed television series, consumer DNA tests, the creation of an online family tree or membership of a local family history society. Many of the digital collections made available by libraries and archives is in response to this growing interest in family history. Despite this public interest, can we claim the existence of such a thing as public genealogy? This presentation will encourage discussion regarding public interactions with genealogy and the steps those of us who work as professionals can take to encourage positive public experiences.
