During the Covid-19 outbreak, the wonderful people from Ancestry have allowed public libraries to make Ancestry Library Edition available for our members to use from home. Normally this database can only be accessed in the library, using our public PCs or wi-fi. It has been a fantastic resource to offer people while they have been quarantining at home, especially while libraries were closed or operating with reduced numbers as they are now.
This access was to end 30 June, but Ancestry has just announced that home access will continue for another month, until 31 July. So those Campaspe Regional Library members who are still self-isolating can continue to access this fantastic genealogical resource from home.
To access Ancestry Library Edition, go to the Campaspe Regional Library web page at https://www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/library On the right hand column, click on the link for 'Things to do from Home'. The link for Ancestry Library Edition from home is at the top right. You will be prompted to log in using your library card number and PIN, then follow the prompts to Ancestry's page and continue researching your family history from the comfort of home.
A huge thank you to Ancestry for making this resource available from home during the pandemic. I hope you all enjoy access and stay safe.
