to provide as a public service, reference libraries and associated learning opportunities;
and the doing of all such lawful things as are incidental and conductive to the attainment of the basic aims and objectives of the society.
Our Branch
It has been more than a quarter of a century since our group first met and became the Devonport Branch of a wider group called the Genealogical Society of Tasmania. The years have seen many changes in the way research is carried out and hence the variety of resources we have acquired. Many of the founding members of the branch are still active members who enjoy sharing their experiences with those who have joined more recently. This is just one of the advantages of being a member of a group such as this. A wealth of research experience and friendly advice from a wide variety of people, can make coming to a meeting or visiting our library, a most informative and enjoyable experience.
