The Ontario Genealogical Society will host a free webinar, Women’s Institute: Tweedsmuir Community Histories, presented by Irene Robillard, tomorrow, Thursday, March 1, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.
This presentation will look at the wealth of genealogical and historical information contained within the award-winning “Tweedsmuirs” of the Women’s Institutes in Ontario, such as pioneer families, farm histories, newspaper clippings, and photographs. The presentation will also explain how to find and access these collections, both in paper and in digitized format, including their Virtual Archives site.
Thanks to a $38,303 grant in 2016 from Library and Archives Canada’s Documentary Heritage Communities Program, the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario was able to continue digitizing the Tweedsmuir Community History Collections.
Register here to watch live. The recording will be available afterward for society members only.
