IAJGS salutes

The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) has announced a new program to recognize individuals for their contributions to further the study of Jewish Genealogy. The goal is to salute individuals and non-profit organizations that have completed noteworthy projects and activities relating to Jewish genealogy.

The committee, chaired by Lyn Blyden of Seattle, Washington, asks those submitting a nomination for an organization, project or individual, to provide appropriate documentation so the committee can properly evaluate efforts and activities. As guidelines, ask yourself the following:

-- Did the project or activity increase the availability of resources for
Jewish Genealogy?
-- Did the project or activity demonstrate creative techniques others can use?
-- Did the project or activity increase interest and participation in Jewish
Genealogy?
