On June 14th, 1980, the Quinte Branch was chartered as the 18th branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) covering the Bay of Quinte area that includes Hastings, Prince Edward and southeastern Northumberland Counties in Ontario, Canada. The branch celebrated its 30th Anniversary on June 19, 2010. Nearly 400 members include those who have roots in the Bay of Quinte area and those who live locally with roots elsewhere.

Quinte OGS is a non-profit organization with three major goals:
- to encourage participation in genealogical activities
- to assemble and preserve the family histories and research material;
- to assist family history researchers at the branch library and by correspondence.
