What a huge week it has been genealogy wise for me. Lots of things to learn and discover. Saturday morning was spent at my Society taking part in a Library Assistant's workshop. These are held a couple of times a year and are designed to help you be a better library assistant. One of the mini talks/presentations was about the Map Room. This is always a vastly underused resource at the QFHS Library. I'm always amused at how I always learn something despite going into the library at least once a month on duty and having been a member for probably about thirty years now. We all practised getting maps out of the cabinets. The cabinets can be a bit intimidating to newbies. Once the door is open, I think people are petrified that all the maps are going to fall out if the door doesn't catch. I've got the hang of it now but was amused to notice for the first time the little "buttons" or knobs on the outside of the map cabinets to hang...
