What are Interest Groups ?
Interest Groups have
been established to enable members who are researching
their families in a particular area, to assist each other with their
research
and to share their mutual successes and difficulties.
Eighty-five per cent of the Interest Group membership fees will be
donated
to the purchase of material for the Library. Members of the group
decide
together what they wish to obtain in order to assist them in further
research.
In the past each group has allocated this money to the purchase of
specific
books, CDs, films and microfiche pertaining to their particular area.
Some groups have organised social events such as film nights to raise
funds.
This money has then been used to purchase additional material.
What does it cost ?
To join an Interest
Group. a member pays $16.00 (inc. GST) per annum in
addition
to the normal Institute membership fee. Most Groups meet once a
month. Annual membership is due 1st. January each year.

Where do Interest Groups Meet ?
Interest Groups normally
meet at the Institute's Library, however,
occasionally
they meet at outside venues to access specialist records.
