Our Mission

QFHS is committed to providing research resources in a pleasant, friendly environment and to providing suitable premises for members to spend time, both for educational purposes and as a meeting place to discuss shared interests.  

Our aims are to:

• Provide quality print and digital resources
• Support new members commencing their family history research
• Ensure members' research experience is enjoyable
• Encourage members to ensure all research is sound and fully sourced
• Encourage and instruct members in using ethical principles and effective techniques of genealogical research
• Educate members in methods of sharing information and to respect the law of copyright and personal privacy
• Develop resources, offer workshops, newsletters, and events
• Organise expert local historians to visit and speak to members
• Enter into cooperative and/or sharing relations with other societies with similar or related aims, and to cooperate with them in promotion of our common interests

We undertake to provide quality resources and education to our members. In turn, we expect that our members pass on that knowledge to others and continue the aim of the thirty founding members who established the Society in 1979.
