The Society owns premises in the centre of Aberdeen with a well-stocked library and a huge selection of microfilm, microfiche and CD resources. The library has over 5,500 books on its shelves, plus journals from other family-history societies worldwide, magazines, ancestor charts, maps and other materials. There are also many resources on computer. Regular meetings are held throughout the year, covering many topics of interest to family historians. Meetings are held in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Elgin, Glasgow and London, as well as in Brisbane and Melbourne in Australia, and Southern Ontario in Canada.
