Genealogical and historical societies frequently concentrate on gathering material on the social, economic, military, and political history for a particular part of the province or for a particular group of people often emphasizing the lives of individuals and families.  A significant number of societies operate small museums to preserve artefacts and to encourage interest in the family and community history of their region.  Societies with archival collections often create guides to their holdings and may publish histories and genealogies, census compilations and similar works.
