Society of Genealogists

In line with the new national lockdown beginning on Tuesday 5 January, our Library and Archives are now closed to visitors and Volunteers. We understand that this is disappointing but it is, of course, necessary.

If you have booked a research session at the library for January onwards, we will send you a cancellation notice. We look forward to welcoming you back when the lockdown is lifted.

Of course, it's just our building that's closed. Our online courses and talks on Zoom continue, open to everyone. If you're interested in family history, you're very welcome. View events coming up here on WhereCanWeGo.

As the National Family History Centre, we store and index family stories and documents from all over the UK. You will find links on our home page to take you to all our online records and to our Library. There's help pages to get you started and Advice Lines if you want one of our experts to help you
