Professional Genealogy
is a manual by professionals for everyone      serious about genealogy. For family historians who want to do their own      study, reliably, it describes the standards. For hobbyists, attorneys, and      medical scientists who seek professional researchers, it's a consumer guide      that defines quality and facilitates choices. For librarians who struggle to      help a whole new class of patrons, it provides a bridge to the methods,      sources, and minutiae of "history, up-close and personal." For established      genealogical professionals, it offers benchmarks by which they can advance      their skills and places their businesses on sounder footing. And for all      those who dream of turning a fascinating hobby into a successful career,
Professional Genealogy
details the preparation and the processes.
Its      twenty-nine chapters, written by two dozen scholars, cover the following      topic areas: research skills and the analysis of evidence, writing and      compiling genealogical research, the core genealogy library collection,      genealogical ethics and standards, editing and publishing, and topics      relating to the profession of genealogist.
"
Professional Genealogy
is a landmark--the field's most      significant publication since 1960, when the American Society of      Genealogists introduced
Genealogical Research: Methods and Sources
.      In a sense, though, its title belies its greatest value: it offers priceless      guidance to the many amateur family historians who want to ensure that their      work is of high quality and enduring value."--Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG,      CGL, President, Board for Certification of Genealogists
