Borders Family History Society
Archive and Search Room, Galashiels
The Society has its own archive and search room at Old Gala House, an interesting museum in Scott Crescent, Galashiels, TD1 3JS, Scotland, and this houses our collection of family history material, our own and other publications, which are available for visitors to do their own research.
Our own and some other publications may be purchased here, when the search room
is open.
The archive and search room is now open only by appointment to paid up members by reservation in advance until 3rd April 2012, when we will again be providing access to the public.
For reservations, please make an Archive Appointment Request quoting your email address as well your name, and desired appointment date and time, giving at least 1 week's notice.
Appointments should not be regarded as final until they have been confirmed.
See this map for directions to Old Gala House.
