We hold monthly meetings with topics of interest to our members and the public. Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings. Notices are placed in local newspapers and posted through the local library system and our website. We offer a seven week introductory genealogy course to the public. We provide volunteers to assist with research in the Research Room of the Bruce County Archives. We publish a quarterly newsletter for members. Copies are sent to libraries and other genealogical societies. We provide volunteers to cut notices out of local newspapers pertaining to births, marriages and deaths. We conduct research to answer people's queries regarding their family history. We transcribe tombstone information in Bruce County cemeteries, and publish material relevant to genealogy. We purchase genealogical materials (books, microfilms, microfiche, CDS, website access, software, etc.) for public use at the Bruce County Archives. We promote genealogy at local events like heritage fairs, fall fairs, plowing matches, etc. We print family history forms for children (apple family trees) which we distribute at local events. We sponsor a prize at the local regional heritage fair for elementary students.
