Exchange Magazines
Exchanged and purchased magazines are held in our Family History area at Springwood Library. Magazines may only be borrowed by members. See the volunteer on duty.
An index of the main articles in these magazines and journals are contained in a series of index books placed on the main desk in the Library. It is in 5 parts - all to 2003 (over 5000 entries) and from magazines dated from January 2004 to December 2006 (6000 entries). Part 3 indexes the main items and articles from 2007 and 2008, Part 4 has those from 2009 and 2010 and 2011-2012 are contained in Part 5. The recently arrived magazines and journals are displayed at each monthly meeting for members to borrow.
Note - lack of space limits the long term storage of some magazines and journals. Only the last two years are held on the Library shelves. Many previous issues are held in the Societies Archive and are not held at the Springwood Library. Please request the issue required with the volunteer on duty and arrangements wil be made to retrieve it from the archive. Please allow a minimum of two days for this to occur. If you are interested in any issue no longer held, please contact the owner Society directly.
