Special Interest Groups
|
A number of groups - available to members and visitors - meet regularly at our Research Centre for mutual support, updates, help and discussion about their particular areas of research. All groups provide opportunities for members to meet others, with similar family history interests, where research and stories can be shared in a community atmosphere. Please see the literature rack at the Research Centre entrance for Group flyers with further details.
No bookings necessary. Simply arrive. For the computer software programs groups is it helpful to bring a laptop but certainly not necessary. Wearing a name tag is advisable. Session cost $5 for members and $10 for visitors. IMPORTANT MESSAGE - Due to the corona virus situation it will be necessary for members to check this page for updates on whether meetings will be held.
