Thesis (M.A.)--University of Manitoba (Canada), 2005.

In the 1970s a new social phenomenon appeared. Spurred on by the popularity of American Alex Haley's book Roots and the television mini-series based on it, which chronicled the history of an African-American family, many individuals from various ethnic and socio-economic groups began to explore their own family histories through archival research. Along with this demographic and archival shift, other new trends in genealogical activity became apparent: genealogists began to show more interest in all family members, not just in the search for an elite ancestor; genealogical societies and publications grew significantly; new technologies and research techniques were adopted, such as use of the Internet; study of genealogy became the basis of academic and popular books as well as plays, not just used to fill out a family tree; and it became an increasingly important aspect of medical care. Some of these trends were noted in the 1980s by historian Samuel Hays, who coined the term the "new genealogy" to describe the phenomenon. This thesis examines the new genealogy from an archival perspective. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
