All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 26 November 2007 at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15 pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall, exchange journals and the library. The subject of the talk is "Archivist and Family Historians : the best of friends ?". This will be presented by Heather Forbes. I'm told by Heather that after a brief introduction on what Gloucestershire Archives has to offer Oxfordshire family historians, she will explore the theme of how archivists and family history societies can collaborate to provide an improved service for family historians. Heather will be using examples from Hampshire, Kent and Gloucestershire. She is also keen to explore any ideas the audience may have on this subject and to hear good examples of such collaboration from Oxfordshire. Our speaker Heather Forbes has been County and Diocesan Archivist of Gloucestershire since summer 2005. She previously worked for Canterbury Cathedral and Kent Archives Service, Hampshire Record Office and London Metropolitan Archives. All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
