South Mississippi Genealogical & Historical Society Meeting

 

June Meeting information.


Preserving Your Family Treasures



June 4, 2013

7:00 PM

Family personal collections like diaries, photos and letters are precious to you and to future generations. Paper-based collections and other materials deteriorate over time, but proper care, handling and storage of your treasures will help ensure that they are available for generations to come. Jennifer Brannock, Librarian at USM’s McCain Library, will help us learn how to preserve and care for our family treasures, Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 7:00 PM, at the Genealogy Library, 107 S. Park Avenue, in Hattiesburg. This free presentation provided by South Mississippi Genealogical & Historical Society is open to all.
Our next regular meeting will be in August. Enjoy your summer with genealogy and history projects.

Contact Kathy Goss for more information: gosskathleen@gmail.com or 601-544-5210.

Announcement: Beginning the first Saturday in May we're extending the hours for our Genealogy Library. The Library will be open from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, every Saturday, except for major holidays, providing members and guests more time to use our resources. Our library is open to the public; we currently have about 1400 books on history and genealogy from every state and the colonial period, as well as periodicals and journals from other genealogical and historical societies. The library houses the entire genealogy collection from the Hattiesburg-Petal-Forrest County public library and is a good resource for people who can't travel to other states or counties in Mississippi to conduct their research. Copies can be made at a nominal cost, and WiFi is available. Our volunteers are experienced in genealogy and are available to help anyone research their family history.
