Elgin Branch OGS 2018

Lynda and Jerry Wilson have assisted the Elgin OGS Branch over the last few years and enjoyed volunteering very much, but as of 2018 they will no longer be able to continue their volunteer efforts. It has been our privilege and an honor to assist the Elgin Branch 

The Elgin Branch is looking for volunteers to assist them on the Branch Executive for 2018. This can easily be done from a distance.

At our November meeting we are hoping to solicit volunteers for the positions which are about to become vacant. If you are interested in assisting the branch please email Bruce Johnson Jr. in advance of the November meeting at elginchair@ogs.on.ca

Submitted by: Branch Executive

The St Thomas Public Library has changed the direction of their focus on the local history room and therefore we are unable to house our collection there under the previous arrangement. Some of our microfilm is going to the Elgin County Archives. The collection will be downsized, and put in storage until a permanent home can be found.  That is about all we know at this point in time. We continue to look for material that can be added to our web site for the greatest access to all Elgin County Researchers. Any comments or concerns can be directed to elginresearch@ogs.on.ca
