Past Presentations and Workshops
Audio and video recordings of previous presentations and workshops since 2018 are accessible to members of our Society. They include recordings of monthly programming and Special Interest Group meetings.
If you are not a member, you may join our Society and have access to presentations that cover a wide range of topics of interest to genealogists.
The recordings are available for those presentations where speakers gave permission to upload distribute recordings. Please note that the material is only for educational purposes and for the personal use of members of the JGS Toronto and may not be distributed to others. https://jgstoronto.ca/past-presentations-workshops/page/2/
