Members are able to access FamilySearch Digital Images again from the QFHS Library and Resource Centre computer. You may be aware that if you search for Digital Images on FamilySearch from your home computer, you often see sets of records which have a camera icon, surmounted by a key. These images are often available to view at a Family History Affiliate Library, such as the QFHS Library and Resource Centre. This service has now been restored to our Library. |

JOURNAL ARTICLE OF THE YEAR
|
|
Thank you to all members who participated in our inaugural Journal Article of the Year: Members’ Choice Award. At the recent QFHS Management Committee meeting, a name was randomly selected from all the members who participated. We can announce that participant We were delighted with the response from our members and pleased that so many took the time to let us know which article from the Queensland Family Historian they most enjoyed during 2021. The article receiving the most votes—the Members’ Choice for Journal Article of the Year—will be announced in the first issue of Queensland Family Historian for 2022 (expected late January-early February). At that time, the article will be featured on QFHS website and Facebook. The author will receive a prize of $75 and a commemorative certificate. Watch out for that announcement. In the meantime, we extend our congratulations to Lou Muller and appreciation to all who participated in our inaugural Members’ Choice Award. We look forward to receiving another contribution from you all next year when we conduct the Journal Article of the Year: Member’s’ Choice Award 2022. Allana O’Kane, Publicity Coordinator |
