This has not only meant access to old records,\nbut also the emergence of formats for digital data. The new accessibility and\nefficiency of genealogical research has made it a possibility for a greater\nnumber of people, ultimately propelling family history into mainstream\ndiscussion and generating more interest. However, these revolutionary digital tools\nalso come with new problems, such as technical malfunction, reliance on\nimperfect systems, management of massive quantities of data, and questions of\nprivacy. This poster presents the findings of a paper in which I examined the\ninfluence of digital technology on genealogy and its research processes, by\nfirst describing a selection of modern technologies prominently used in family\nhistory, and then analyzing their various implications in access, preservation,\nand ethics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Survey of technology\u2019s influence on genealogy, describing a selection of important digital tools relevant to genealogical research, and analyzing their implications in access, preservation, and ethics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":638,"featured_media":7101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[721],"tags":[19],"coauthors":[736],"class_list":["post-7003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-721","tag-cultural-heritage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7003"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7051,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7003\/revisions\/7051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7003"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=7003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
