STHS President, Erin McFaul Davis was recently interviewed by Lindsey Harren for Quinte Connection and talks about our genealogy centre, Marilyn Adams, and her own early interest in genealogy. View it on YouTube.

December 2 is Giving Tuesday and we’re using the occasion to launch our 2026 fundraising campaign.

Why are we fundraising?

We remain incredibly grateful for the amazing bequest of Marilyn Adams that inspired and created the Marilyn Adams Genealogical Research Centre. While the income from that bequest continues to be our major source of funding, we still need to rely on the generosity of our members, visitors and others to ensure we can cover our operating costs, continue to provide services to family researchers, and plan for growth.

How your donation can help:

• $50 covers office supplies for a month
• $100 pays for our Picton fair booth
• $500 covers our web hosting services for a year
• $1000 covers our advertising costs for a year

Our fundraising goal for 2026 is just $2000 (of course, we’d be thrilled to go beyond that). Visit our fundraising page at Canada Helps to see how we’re doing and donate now.
