We have members in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We are full members of the Scottish Association of Family History Societies and send a representative to their meetings in Edinburgh. The library is open from 11.0 am for members' own research, when experienced members are available for advice and guidance. We have exhibited at the federation of FHS Family History Fairs in Stockport for several years and members regularly attend the annual conferences of the Scottish Association at various venues in Scotland, including Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Kelso.
Local members are volunteers in the library.
See the meeting programme below . We have articles of particular Scottish interest and news from Scottish repositories and libraries. We also accept members' queries for publication. We have the 1992 IGI for Scotland by county and the 1981 edition by country . We also hold typed transcripts of baptismal and communion rolls of the early Scottish churches in Manchester.
