I was working on a project that involved me using TheGenealogist’s Map Explorer today when I couldn’t help myself get side tracked. I had to take a look to see where a certain road is situated in London.
The reason for my curiosity? Well, I had received an email from The Society of Genealogists to all its members telling us where the SoG’s new home is going to be.
I expect the official announcement will be made shortly with the full details. Hint: Its located in a road on this map! 😆
I am looking forward to paying it a visit when it is open.
The SoG also say that they shall be welcoming members back to their beloved library and archive in the first half of 2023. The venue is easily accessible from Euston, Kings Cross and Paddington, and we should all keep an eye out for information updating their progress.
Over the coming months, the SoG also promise to be adding more exclusive content, and more opportunities to interact with other members within the community or quiz their experts. The are introducing a brand new search platform in 2023, which will run alongside the current SoG Data Online and they are improving their catalogues. Soon you will be able to search the new archive catalogue online and view their parish registers and monumental inscriptions from the comfort of your own home.
“We know it’s been a long time coming, but we hope that you will be as excited as we are and that you will come and visit us. As we plan for this exciting year, we will also be sending out a survey to discover what you would like to see at our new premises.”
