Part of each assignment is a report of what the records are, why they were created and how one would use them to benefit a research problem. Each candidate is expected to donate twenty hours of volunteer time to helping family researchers in the SGS Library. Another expectation is that they write a major article on one facet of research which will be published in the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society Bulletin . Each candidate prepares their own research guides for each of the ten assignments. These are shown to the Board of Certification at the same time they meet to discuss an ethical question.
Successful candidates receive a two-year temporary certificate.
At the end of that time, they are expected to complete a report on their research activities and show how they are keeping up their genealogical skills. Successful candidates then receive a permanent certificate that is to be renewed every five years. Copyright 2000-2001 Saskatchewan Genealogical Society. All rights reserved.
