Please note that the centre is closed in the summer - check at the centre for closure dates.

    We have a microfiche reader available for members to borrow. Phone Frank Houghton at 752-8612 to arrange.

DONATIONS POLICY (April 4, 2007)

All donations to the Qualicum Family History Society Library will be acknowledged and thanked by email or phone. Acknowledgement will also be placed on each item retained. Therefore it would be appreciated if donors would complete a donation form so that we know who has donated the items and can acknowledge such.

Due to possibly outdated information and for lack of space in the library cupboard, any journals older than 10 years will not be added to the collection. However useful articles may be removed and placed in a pamphlet file. These articles will be filed under Country, Province, State and/or County.

    All items will be added to the collection at the discretion of the Library Committee. The following considerations may apply:

  1. Materials should enhance the collection and educational programs of the Society

  2. Items may not be accepted if in poor condition nor of outdated information

  3. Items are accepted with the proviso that the society becomes the sole owner of the materials and therefore determines retention or disposal of such

  4. In the case of the materials not being suitable for retention, donors should indicate their wishes as to the items disposal on the donation form

  5. If donated items are to be disposed of by the Society they will be offered to other QBFHS members at a small fee (10c for magazines and .25c-$1 for books) and any monies raised will go towards the purchase of new materials.

    The QBFHS library appreciates all donations!
