The important task of undertaking Family History research using reputable, useful sources just got easier. Ancestry® Library Edition delivers billions of records in census data, vital records, directories, photos, and more from countries all over the world. Ordinarily, access to this fantastic database would need to be undertaken within a branch Library building. However, temporarily until further notice, the Library has gained access for our members without needing to leave your home, using the Library’s catalogue.
Have a read through these simple instructions, then use the catalogue link provided to get started:
- Visit the catalogue (by clicking the link), or select “Collections” from the home page of the Library website.
- From here, we recommend logging in to your Library account before selecting the Ancestry Library Edition link (alternatively, you will be prompted to login to your Library account upon clicking Login in the Ancestry Library Edition box and will then need to return to the home page of the catalogue). Your Borrower ID is located under the barcode on the reverse side of your Library card.
A reminder that this special access has been granted temporarily, until further notice.
