Discover a World of Family History
Presented by the Genealogical Society of Victoria
Library Open Session
The Genealogical Society of Victoria is delighted to invite you to our library to learn about researching your family history in Scotland.
The GSV library holds a large number of resources to assist with researching Scottish family history and many of our Members have considerable research experience and skills in the area. We are opening our Library to give you an opportunity to learn about our resources and meet our experts who will provide individual assistance for your research. There will be an introductory talk and then you will have an opportunity to explore what’s there – both on line and on the shelves.
Due to our limited space, the Library will be open to ten (10) Members of the Public only at each of two sessions.
WHEN: WEDNESDAY 9TH JULY Presenters: GSV Librarians and volunteers
