Three times a year, in February, June and October, every member of Tay Valley Family History Society receives a copy of the Society's journal, The Historian. Each issue of the journal is full of interesting articles submitted by members about people and topics they have uncovered in the course of their own family history research. Sharing their experiences and interests can be invaluable to other members and makes great reading. 

The journal also contains news about the Society and what is happening in our Research Centre at 179-181 Princes Street, Dundee, dates for your diary about forthcoming events, and a chance to give feedback through the letters page. There are also articles and features about the areas covered by Tay Valley: Angus, Perth & Kinross-shire and Fife. 

Other features include meeting reports, news from the library, and book reviews. There are tips about using online resources for research as well as information on useful websites - members' contributions to these are welcome. 

Members wishing to seek help with their research or to make contact with other members who have similar interests may submit requests to the ‘Help Wanted’ and ‘Members’ Interests’ section of the journal by contacting us. 

Recent issues of The Historian are in the ‘Journal Archive' section of this website (as a resource for members).
