The Huron County Library is welcoming a major addition to its Seaforth Branch with the relocation of an extensive genealogical collection from the Ontario Genealogical Society – Huron Branch.
“This important collection includes local family histories, cemetery records, census information, church records, and other historical resources essential to those researching their Huron County roots,” the library said in an announcement.
Once housed at the log cabin at the Huron County Museum, the move to the Seaforth Branch “ensures improved accessibility, preservation, and integration with the library’s existing local history resources.”
The collection is available for in-person research at the Seaforth Branch only. “OGS members will continue to be the main point of contact for the collection, providing volunteer support for research requests,” the statement added.
Researchers can arrange appointments to meet with volunteers during regular branch hours by emailing huronchair@ogs.on.ca. Materials are for in-branch use only.
