TOUR THE FISKE GENEALOGICAL LIBRARY WITH Seattle Genealogical Society
Plus: Spots Left on SGS Tour of Puget Sound
Regional Branch of the WA State Archives
The Fiske Genealogical Library is a hidden treasure located in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle and SGS is offering patrons the opportunity to get better aquatinted with all the Fiske has to offer. SGS is sponsoring a tour of the Fiske Friday, Oct. 11, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The Fiske is notable for its collection of rare genealogical books, 30% of which are available in fewer than twenty libraries in the world. Some 4% of the books in the collection are not reported to be in any other library! The collection is particularly rich in materials related to colonial New England and North America.
Dave Brazier, President of the Fiske Genealogical Library, will be our guide for a two-hour tour. His presentation will focus on the library’s history and organization. He will be available after the presentation until 3:00 pm for those who would like some one-on-one time to hone their search/research skills.
The cost is $20 per person, $15 for members. Tour is limited to the first 15 paid registrations received.
