Library

The Society Library is kept at Cambridge Record Office, Shire Hall, Cambridge on open access to all users, as well as members of the FHS. A selection of recent accessions is taken along to monthly Society meetings.

The Library contains exchange copies of journals of most other family history societies and organisations in the UK and overseas and a collection of books on genealogical methods and resources, family history, local history etc. These may be borrowed by members only. At present there is no up-to-date catalogue of the library.

For details, contact the Secretary.
