Dive into the world of maritime history with renowned expert Peter McCracken, co-founder of ShipIndex.org, in an exciting, informative session, tailored to both amateur and seasoned researchers alike, that will navigate you through the vast ocean of maritime historical research. Peter will guide you through the process of uncovering historical ship records, maritime voyages, and personal narratives, and how these can add depth and richness to your genealogical studies. Using the extensive resources of ShipIndex.org as a primary focus, he’ll demonstrate how to leverage its unique citation database to locate and learn about specific vessels, their voyages, and the people they carried.
But the journey won’t stop there. Peter will also explore other tools and techniques to further your maritime research, casting a wide net to ensure no stone is left unturned in your search for seafaring ancestors and maritime connections. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding of maritime history research, uncover new resources, and add a new dimension to your genealogical investigations. Sail into the past with us and explore your history like never before.
Peter McCracken is co-founder and publisher of ShipIndex.org. He holds a Masters in Library Science and a Masters in Maritime History, and has worked as a reference librarian at East Carolina University and the University of Washington. In 2000, he co-founded Serials Solutions with his brothers and a high school friend; the company was acquired by ProQuest in 2004. Since 2016 he has been Electronic Resources Librarian at Cornell University. McCracken has written a quarterly column on “Maritime History on the Internet” in Sea History magazine since 2004; in 2014 he received a Sea History Award of Appreciation for this work.
