For the first time since 2020, the Ulster Historical Foundation will be back on tour!
Beginning with an online programme on 19 February, our 2022 Lecture Tour will see the Foundation participate in a number of family history workshops across the United States.
As many of the in-person events planned for the tour will be observing social distancing for those in attendance the room capacity at some venues will be lower than pre-Covid. We recommend you register early to be sure of your place if you would like to attend the workshops in person.
Whilst every effort is being made to ensure these workshops go ahead, we are aware that COVID might disrupt plans for in-person attendance. The Foundation along with the different host organisations are preparing contingencies so that if it becomes necessary these programmes will go ahead as virtual events, but crucially they will go ahead.
