New Online Course: Canva Essentials for Family Historians

Live, online and just in time for Christmas!

For years, I felt like CANVA was my weakness.

Unable to draw or design (so I’m told) I fell for CANVA instantly. I think it was the freedom to dabble, to get out of the way of my perceived shortcomings in the graphics department… and just CREATE THINGS.

Over the past decade, I’ve designed several family history-friendly templates. I produce all of my visual content on CANVA. I’m a total fangirl (woman).

Many historians are hooked on PowerPoint, which is just fine if you want to keep your audience numbers down 😛 [In my Show & Tell course, we talked about loaded slides which historians love]

But maybe if you dip your toes in the CANVA stream, you’ll find a sweet, clear current that will take you to new places. All you need is:

• free account

• a project

• a printer helps

I’m excited to be running this introductory course on behalf of the Society for Australian Genealogists (SAG) on Wednesday 3 December 2025 at 7-8.30 pm AEST.

At A$45 for the public (non-members - US$32) this 90 minutes course is great value. You’ll join a community of like-minded people online… get my tuition, tips and hacks AND we send you a recording so you can go through the session at your own pace WITH A FAB HANDOUT TO DOWNLOAD AND KEEP!!

If you don’t already know the Society of Australian Genealogists, they are Australia’s oldest family history society; not-for-profit, 99 years old and still going strong! I can’t wait to see you online on Wednesday 3 December 2025.
