There are many online resources for researching family history though the CQFHA repository has resources that may not be easily accessible through this avenue. It is not necessary to have computer skills to find information.

I was asked to develop a resource for the CQFHA and the 'Guide to Repository For Promotional Events: September 2018' was compiled. Its table of contents describes many of the collections within the Repository from which to conduct such research. A team of volunteers enthusiastically and diligently spend many hours providing background effort in cataloguing and indexing the resources of the Association.
