25TH ANNIVERSARY TIME CAPSULE

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Society a Time Capsule DVD has been created, recording the growth of the Society from its modest beginnings in 1984 to an organisation of more than 440 members with a permanent home at our Research Centre and Library at 184 Gannons Road (south) Caringbah NSW.

The DVD contains interviews with foundation and other members speaking about the formation of the Society, its early days and other reminiscences. It details the long search for research centre premises, the Woronora Cemetery indexing project, with footage of genie fairs, bus trips, Christmas parties and conferences. The video is a tribute not only to the foundation and other members featured in it, but is also intended to acknowledge the great debt owed to the countless other members whose contributions during those 25 years have made the Society into the successful, progressive and friendly organisation it is today. Available at the Research Centre. Cost: Gold coin donation.

25TH ANNIVERSARY SLIDESHOW

Contains over 300 photographs contributed by members in DVD slideshow format covering 25 years of the Society's history. Also featured are photos taken at the 25th Anniversary Dinner in August 2009. The DVD is viewable on both TV and computer and includes JPG files for all photos. Available at the Research Centre. Cost: Gold coin donation.
