The genealogy department of the Hennepin County Library in Minneapolis created the video Genealogy Research: An Introduction to Immigration & Naturalization Resources through 1930, which highlights the local genealogy research resources that are available for patrons interested in researching their ancestors’ immigration history. The video is posted in the library’s Vimeo page.
The content of the video is definitely relevant and helpful and it is explained in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The librarian who wrote and narrated the script did a wonderful job in providing an overview of each of the resources. Each explanation is supported by appropriate images and includes a display of the web address where the resource can be located.
Overall the video was well made. It is not a state-of-the-art production, but it has a decent level of quality suited to the purpose and to the audience. My only observation is that I would have added more visual information about the resources directly available in the library’s website.
