Apply to be included in GenStack Anthology 2025

The 1st Annual Edition of the GenStack Anthology

GenStack Anthology 2025

I love what our Family History community has written about Genealogy and Family History this year. I love it so much, I am not ready to let it go. Because of that, I am creating an anthology of the amazing genealogy articles published in 2025. This collection of family history articles will be published as an eBook, and it will be free to everyone.

The intention behind publishing the compilation of articles is to further efforts towards making genealogy and family history visible to readers and building a system in which the writing we have done is preserved.

This of course will help GenStack with visibility, but it will help you too. The eBook will be digital with links directly to your Substack accounts. I will promote it on Substack Notes and on GenStack. Additionally, the Anthology will be available indefinitely on the Genealogy Matters Substack Website.
