Accepting PhD Students
Tahitia McCabe is the Head of the Strathclyde Institute for Genealogical Studies at the Centre for Lifelong Learning. I provide leadership in identifying new research projects and funding, creating new courses, events and collaborative opportunities. I also contribute to the Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies masters degree,
In 2002, I won a Fulbright Fellowship to the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library in Norwich, Norfolk (http://www.2ndair.org.uk/) and spent two fabulous years as the ‘American Librarian’ doing outreach to community groups, giving lectures in local schools and hosting returning US WWII veterans.
Not surprisingly as an immigrant myself, migration is one of my key research interests and I am currently focusing on Americans in Scotland during the 19th century. I’ve also been tracing my American ancestors for years helped by my ancestors’ interest in the subject and verifying this earlier work has been an interesting process.
I am a member of the Register for Qualified Genealogists, the Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society and am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
I hold a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in costume design and a BA in History from Southern Oregon State College (Now Southern Oregon University). I have a MLS (Masters in Library Science) from Syracuse University in upstate New York.
I also have a Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde. I did the PG Certificate the second year the course was running and the Diploma the year after.
My research interests include migration and immigration. I am particularly interested in tracing and studying Americans resident in Scotland during the 19th century.
I am also interested in American and Canadian areas of focus and in British genealogical topics more broadly but with a basis in the 19th and 20th centuries.
