Ayrshire is very fortunate in having a large number of very active societies with an interest in local and family history. The Ayrshire Federation of Historical Societies is the "umbrella" organisation which coordinates and supports the activities of many of these organisations.
The AFHS annually produces a diary of all the talks taking place in Ayrshire which are arranged by its member organisations.
The diary for the early part of 2011 is reproduced below.
