Recently the Library/Archives has taken on a new look.  A number of new filing cabinets have been added, along with a new desk and table.  This, with the rearrangement of the machines, makes the room more user friendly and gives the appearance of more space.

Recently the Archives/Library has received material from the Livingstons and making space for this collection necessitated some rearranging of the library.

'New' filing cabinets have been purchased.

Cabinet 1 on the north wall backing on the stairs contains the pedigree files, queries, vertical files and stationery.

Cabinet 2 has the Vera Kitson collection, bmd and obits from the Smiths Falls Reporter and the Brockville Recorder and Times.

Cabinets 4 and 5 on the south wall house the Livingston collection, and Cabinet 6 has the Polly Craig collection.

Looking To The Future

The Leeds & Grenville Branch of OGS has opportunities for people to be a part of the volunteers who have made our Branch a leader in resources and services offered to those seeking family history information. Being a part of the sharing also rewards the volunteer. One often extends their own family search info, and you get to meet the nicest people. Please contact any member of our executive to get started.
