WI’s On The Go WORKING TOGETHER _ Campania W. I. Dufferin South hosted a specral event at Shelburne Public Library. Tweedsmuir History Curators from both Districts and Curators from all Branches came for the special event. The project commenced in 1978 when Mrs. Arnold Burnside viewed microfilm at the Archives in Toronto, as a result she promoted the idea of purchasing a reader for use in Dufferin County. Members assisting were Mrs. George Burnside, Mrs. 0. Richardson and Mrs. Ellwyn Plester as Treasurer for this special project. Individuals can now view a variety of films at the Library including the Tweedsmuir Histories, which contain invaluable material and pictures of pioneer and present days. These are being compiled by each branch in the County, thus giving a comparatively complete history of Dulferin County. With a reader now available for everyone’s use in the community, it should create an incentive for the Institutes to complete the histories and to have them microfilmed and placed in the Library, A copy of the film is retained at the Archives in Toronto for posterity. An additional note, microfilm can now be borrowed from the Archives in Ottawa, by persons doing family tree research. This is made possible through inter- library loan service and can be arranged through the library. when microfilm is received it can be viewed at the library. A RECORD ‘ ‘._ ‘ 12‘ A”. J BOWEN ROAD.
