Family History Workshops
The workshops support and supplement on-campus family history courses at BYU. In multiple sessions per week, student teaching assistants (TAs) teach the week's topic and answer questions.
Workshops and Open Labs Winter 2025
Workshops are formal lessons on family history topics that give students the opportunity to learn and practice skills that will enhance class performance. Open labs supplement the workshops by offering time for students to work on their assignments while a TA is present to answer questions.
Winter 2025 Workshops and Labs will be held January 13th - April 11th.
Workshop Location: 2240 HBLL. Workshops are held in the glass enclosed classroom located on the 2nd floor of the library in the Family History section.
Lab Hours Location: Labs will be held at the tables/computers just outside the workshop classroom. Look for the HIST 205 sign.
