The Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR), sponsored by the Georgia Genealogical Society (GGS), provides an educational forum for the discovery, critical evaluation, and use of genealogical sources and methodology led by premier genealogical educators who are leading researchers and scholars in the field. IGHR Week consists of six courses that take place during the last full week of July. Students choose one course that lasts throughout the week. Another six courses will run once a week throughout the year.

Course levels range from basic skills to advanced methodology and evidence analysis designed to solve complex research problems; course topics range from resources for specific geographic locations to in-depth skill development on specific subjects, such as land records, military records, and DNA analysis.
