On its Way to a New Home

We are delighted that the resource we blogged about two days ago is already on its way to a new home.

Today we packed up the General Muster and Land and Stock Muster of New South Wales: 1822 that was superfluous to our needs and posted it off to The Moruya and District Historical Society which was very prompt in replying to our offer.

The use of our blog to tell other societies of the availability of this resource was efficient and effective and demonstrates what excellent tools social media are for organisations.

Like our Society The Moruya and District Historical Society has embraced social media with a blog and Facebook Page.

Resource - Free to a Library or Society

Last week we received a generous donation of books some of which will be added to our collection.

There is one title that is superfluous to our needs as our copy is in very good condition. The donor is happy for us to offer this book General Muster and Land and Stock Muster of New South Wales: 1822 (pictured below) to a family history or historical society or a public library geographically close to Ku-ring-gai that does not have a copy in its collection.

We ask for a contribution towards postage from the successful organisation. Please forward expressions of interest to khs@khs.org.au with the Subject Line "General Muster".

Thanks to our presence on Facebook a local resource is on its way to our Society.

The Whitehorse Historical Society in Victoria offered us a pamphlet, The 18th Battalion (The Kuring-gai Regiment) Sergeant's Mess Rules, that had been donated to their Society.

In their offer sent by email they said " We know of your Society via Facebook".

Thank you to The Whitehorse Historical Society for contacting us about this resource.
