Evernote logoClass Description

“Evernote is a cross-platform, freemium app designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving.” (Wikipedia). It has been my main go-to information and research organization tool since 2009. Anything I need to document, organize, or remember goes into Evernote. It is invaluable for research planning, for logging my research steps and progress, to take on research/road trips, for capturing and retaining what I learn at conferences and institutes, and helping me make better sense of both my paper trail and DNA research.

Colleen Greene has a horrible memory and an obsession with staying organized–Evernote helps with both. This session covers the basics to get you up and running, but also includes features, tips, and use cases from which experienced users will benefit.

Learning Objectives

  • Gain familiarity with the Evernote platform: basic building blocks (Notes, Notebooks, Tags, and Searching), layout and navigation, and features available in the free and premium versions, and features.
  • Gain an understanding of how Evernote can be used to support and enhance genealogical research. Use cases include: DNA documentation, Evidence Explained source citations, research logs and journals, your portable research library, conducting mobile research, and more.
  • Find out where you can learn more and get more help.
