Collection: Librarianship Certificate

Librarians and docents play a vital role in connecting researchers with the genealogical records they need. The Librarianship Certificate at the International Institute of Genealogical Studies is designed specifically for library and archive professionals who want to enhance their collections, better assist patrons, develop engaging adult and children's events, and advance their careers in genealogical librarianship or archival work.

This program is ideal for those with a basic understanding of genealogy who are already involved in the genealogical collection of their library. Courses are built on the assumption that students have already learned research techniques as a librarian — so you'll go deeper, faster.

Museum and historical society docents are also welcome — contact our office for personalized guidance on how this certificate fits your role.
