Branch Library

The library of the Kingston and District Branch, UELAC focuses on three types of collections:

    Books, maps and papers relating to the Loyalists who settled in Kingston and area, including Frontenac and Lennox & Addington Counties and adjacent areas. These provide a source of reference materials for those researching Loyalist ancestors who settled in this vicinity.

    Materials dealing with United Empire Loyalists more generally, including history of the American Revolution, settlement of Loyalists elsewhere in Ontario and in other provinces, etc. These are intended for the use of Branch members resident in Kingston and area, but whose Loyalist ancestors originally settled in other parts of Canada.

    Books of a more general interest, including juvenile fiction, that involve the story of Loyalists and may serve to increase interest in Canadian history in general, and Loyalist history in particular, among younger family members.

    The library holdings are available for perusal during meetings of the Branch at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kingston.

    Books may be borrowed only by paid-up members of Kingston and District Branch UELAC. Members include both those who have obtained U.E. designation and those who are conducting research in order to achieve designation.

    Books may be signed out at a meeting and must be returned to 904 Princess Street, Kingston, Ontario (offices of Davy Real Estate - Monday-Friday, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm) no later than THREE WEEKS following the meeting at which they were borrowed. Members who fail to comply with this regulation may become ineligible to borrow books in future.

    Certain materials (all maps, and some books as indicated) are NOT available on loan, but may be consulted during the time of regular branch meetings.
