NWKFHS Libray Catalogue

Today we had a Library Catalogue session and the resulting Catalogue is available in a searchable pdf format. It will soon be available on North West Kent Family History Web site www.nwkfhs.org.uk

A team of dedicated volunteers has been meeting monthly to create the catalogue database. A happy group that have found books to enhance their family research as they entered the book details. An advantage to them of volunteering to help.

We are busy cataloguing the Film and Fiche catalogue, the 'Old Documents' archive and the Photographic Collection. If you would like to join the cataloguing team email library@nwkfhs.org.uk and we will send you the next dates for the sessions.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
