Building on the Past , Investing in the Future through Genealogy and Local History Services

چکیده
The overall theme of this current issue is encapsulated in the title of the first paper by Patrick Cadell, former Keeper of the Records of Scotland. ‘Building on the Past, Investing in the Future through Genealogy and Local History Services’ is the title of Mr Cadell’s keynote address to the Glasgow meeting of the new IFLA Section on Genealogy and Local History. The paper points out that, while the study of genealogy and family history has become more rigorous and demanding in recent years, it has also become more interesting and rewarding, thanks in part to the application of modern technology in archives and records offices. Although modern research tools have their drawbacks, Mr Cadell considers that the future is bright; but he reminds genealogists that “We have profited from the work of past scholars; by publication or by making our research available, we must allow future scholars to profit from ours”.
