November 2015 General Membership Meeting

The PEI Genealogical Society held its final General Membership Meeting of 2015 on Saturday November 21 at Beaconsfield’s Carriage House in Charlottetown. Guest Speaker was Sarah Fisher, Project Manager for UPEI’s new website booklives.ca developed by the Robertson Library. The Book Lives project originated with research on the provenance of books in the library’s collection which revealed interesting facts on the individuals and families who, over the course of many decades, donated the books. Ms Fisher presented several examples of books whose lives touched the lives of Islanders and those with Island connections.
