History Webinar Benefits

The IFLA Local History and Genealogy Section cordially invites you to a webinar on 7 March 2024, 17:30 – 19:00 CET about conducting genealogical research in South Africa with the help of tombstones and graves. In the 1990s, a project was started by the Genealogical Society of South Africa (GSSA) to document graves sites all over South Africa. Looking back at this project over a period of 25 years, with almost 1 million graves listed, we will take you on the journey documenting and creating a platform that is free and open for all to use not only in South Africa.
