Report - Chris Paton's Visit to Perth & WAGS
A good number of Perth people, particularly those with an interest in Scottish Ancestry, thoroughly enjoyed Chris Paton's presentation on Monday 18th October.
WAGS was also fortunate to have Chris visit our Bayswater Library and facilities. He was very impressed with our Library, and whilst there Chris took the opportunity to have a chat with Liana Fitzpatrick, WAGS President, and recorded a video interview with Edwina Shooter, our Acting Librarian.
The video interview with Edwina is available on Chris's website here: Interview with Edwina Shooter - at WAGS Library
