Subject description: Huntingdonshire Family History Society - Meetings		  
Huntingdonshire Family History Society (HFHS) was founded in 1985 to help people to find out about their family history. The county reorganisation in 1974 saw Huntingdonshire become part of a greater Cambridgeshire. We now have a membership of over 350, the majority of whom live outside the old county. The Society aims to provide links between people interested in families of the old County of Huntingdonshire and to provide a forum for persons interested in genealogy generally. In this respect it fully recognises the needs of those members who cannot easily get to research in Huntingdon, and so constantly is taking account of the advances in information technology to make information more easily available. It actively supports the HUNTINGDON and ENGLISH-FENS Genealogy Mailing List as a forum for discussion on this county. The needs of those who do not have access to new technology is not ignored, and information on new developments is covered in the Journal. It is a Society for the beginner and the experienced genealogist alike.

The Society is a member of the Federation of Family History Societies, and is a supporter of the Genealogy UK and Ireland (GENUKI) information service. It also receives publications of many UK and overseas societies by exchange. These are added to the rapidly growing library. At evening meetings there is a bookstall with a wide range of genealogical publications; these publications can also be purchased by mail order.

The Society does not currently have its own premises, and Society business operates from the homes of its committee. When it meets, it does so at 7.30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month at the Women's Institute Centre, Waldon Road, Huntingdon, except for July (outing arranged), August (closed for holidays) and December, when it meets on the second Wednesday. A bi-annual conference is also held.

The Society has a full programme, including lectures, project evenings, family history fairs and social events.
