If you are looking for the newsletters and journals we issue, you can find them here.  This page is about our holding of outside publications.

The BCGS Walter Draycott Library has a large collection of genealogically related periodicals (serials) from around the world – journals, newsletters and magazines published by other genealogical and historical societies, groups and institutions. You may search a sample of the Library’s serial catalogue below.

Periodicals are listed by their Dewey call number, but you may search in the table below to see all the periodicals for a country or topic.

This collection is added to monthly, so this web catalogue won’t be quite up to date.  As well, it is only a sample.  And journals are now electronic and available in the Paid Members section.  Contact the Library for updated information.

The BCGS is always interested in adding to this collection and participates in many exchanges with other groups. Contact the Library if you are interested in donating current or older journals, etc. or if your group would like to exchange publications with the BC Genealogical Society.

BCGS volunteers suggest interesting articles from new publications and these notes are published quarterly in the BCGS journal, The British Columbia Genealogist as ‘Gleanings’.
