I received a question this week from a Genea-Musings reader, who asked "Are There Ethical Standards for Genealogical Research?"
I knew that there were, and went off to find them. Here are what I found:
* Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) Code of Ethics -- http://www.apgen.org/ethics/index.html
* Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) Code of Ethics and Conduct -- http://www.bcgcertification.org/aboutbcg/code.html
* National Genealogical Society (NGS) Genealogical Standards and Guidelines -- http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/ngs_standards_and_guidelines
The NGS has six separate standards and guidelines, including:
** Standards for Sound Genealogical Research
** Guidelines for Using Records Repositories and Libraries
** Standards for Use of Technology in Genealogical Research
** Standards for Sharing Information with Others
** Guidelines for Publishing Web Pages on the Internet
** Guidelines for Genealogical Self-Improvement and Growth
It is helpful for genealogy researchers of all types and experience to read these and try to adhere to them in their own research work, genealogical society activities, in client research work, and as a customer of genealogical services.
Welcome to my genealogy blog. Genea-Musings features genealogy research tips and techniques, genealogy news items and commentary, genealogy humor, San Diego genealogy society news, family history research and some family history stories from the keyboard of Randy Seaver (of Chula Vista CA), who thinks that Genealogy Research Is really FUN!
