Bringing together world leading expertise to develop the genealogy community.
Strathclyde Institute for Genealogical Studies (SIGS) is an exciting new initiative launched by the Centre for Lifelong Learning. The Institute has been established to bring together a growing network of individuals and organisations to share knowledge and build a thriving academic genealogy community for all.
Delivering the very best in genealogical education and creating a world leading centre of excellence is at the heart of the Institute's ethos.
We work closely with colleagues across the University and within SIGS, to ensure the latest knowledge and research findings are incorporated into our course content, ensuring we continue to deliver fresh and continually evolving learning pathways suitable for beginner through to expert.
By growing our partnership network with organisations and professional bodies from around the globe, we are able to explore ideas and share best practice to help progress many of the projects we are involved in.
Our team of tutors and staff underpin the work that we do and bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our courses, research and partner projects.
