As researchers, family historians, compilers, bloggers, or writers of other ilk, genealogists face legal and ethical perils they often do not anticipate. This crash course offers practical guidance to enhance your skills and keep you safe as you explore history, reconstruct lives, and “write up” your findings. While the issues are serious—from the legal issue of copyright to the ethical issue of plagiarism—the lessons are taught with a light heart and humor.

Thank you for this wonderful resource.
Thank you for the informative webinar. The link to your first reference is incorrect (Mills, Elizabeth Shown. “QuickLesson 15: PlagiarismFive ‘Copywrongs’ of Historical Writing.” Evidence Explained: Historical Analysis, Citation & Source Usage. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content /quicklesson-15-plagiarism—five copywrongs-historical -writing : posted 6 January 2013.). The correct link is https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/quicklesson-15-plagiarism%E2%80%94five-copywrongs-historical-writing. Thank you.
Gena, the citation in the syllabus is this: Mills, Elizabeth Shown. “QuickLesson 15: Plagiarism—
Five ‘Copywrongs’ of Historical Writing.” [italics] Evidence Explained: Historical Analysis, Citation & Source Usage [italics]. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/quicklesson-15-plagiarism—five copywrongs-historical-writing : posted 6 January 2013. It worked for me just now when I copy-pasted it into the Firefox browser.
Very informative and clearly presented
Absolutely fabulous as always! This is one that everyone should see!
Excellent as always
Excellent! I love ESM! She is so knowledgeable. It is an honor and a treat to learn from her. She has brought up many things I never considered or knew about. Thank you so much for this important information!
ESM is always a show stopper. You always learn something new.
Very timely for me because I’m working on a new edition of a family book because of new information discovered after I sent copies of the first book to relatives. I also edit my society’s bulletin and the website. I am very conscious of use of materials, but I learned there is more to that! When possible, I use my own photos.
