Geneabloggers at Congress - Reflections

The dust has settled and Congress attendees have mostly made their ways home. I got home yesterday but, as the internet was down due to our renovations here I have not been able to blog. Mr GeniAus has just moved our modem back into the kitchen and reconnected us so I am taking a break from packing the cupboards to start a new compilation of posts. This list is comprised of posts our geneabloggers have written since Congress. I expect that this new list will grow as the geneabloggers recover from the whirlwind that was Congress.

You can see the pre Congress posts here and the posts from Congress here.  As the GeniAus blog is one that has been selected for permanent preservation in The National Library of Australia's Pandora Archive, the conversation around Congress 2015 should be accessible for quite some time.

And here are the latest posts.  Please let me know if I have omitted any.

Geneabloggers at Congress - Posts from Congress

Just thinking of a title for ths post and a time to start the compilation has given me something to think about. Do posts about registration go in the Pre-Congress Compilation or in this list of posts that are contemperaneous with Congress?

I've drawn a line in the sand and decided that registering is part of Congress so I'll be adding any posts on that topic right here. So please keep coming back over the next five days to see what's doing in Canberra. And PLEASE let me know if I miss any posts.

Geneabloggers at Congress - Pre-Congress Posts

There are twenty-seven thirty geneabloggers on the list I have for blogger beads at Congress and I suspect there may be even more going along. Some of these people have already been writing about thevent. How about writing a post about your experiences at previous Congresses and your expectations of this one?

I propose to do three blog posts in which I compile lists of links to posts that discuss AFFHO Congress 2015, a Pre-Congress (14 days prior) list, a Congress list (will we have time to blog?) and a Post-Congress list. If I miss any posts please let me know and I will add them.

One of my thoughts is that it will be useful to preserve Congress conversations and, as this blog is one that has been selected for permanent preservation in The National Library of Australia's Pandora Archive, the conversation should be accessible for quite some time.
