為了紀念SG60，GSS將向NLB管理層捐贈寶貴的家族歷史書籍和zupus。
在短暫而有意義的儀式之後，紀念SG60的節目的下一個亮點是獲獎攝影師Charlie Lim的特別演講。 透過他引人注目的肖像，查理捕捉到了新加坡人的多樣性、韌性和精神，從文化獎章獲得者到日常英雄。 他的演講還將探討精選肖像背後的故事，以及家族歷史在塑造我們民族身份中的作用。

On 10 August 2025, “Genealogy Society Singapore Celebrates SG60” event at the National Library’s Possibility Room brought together around 80 participants in a well-attended session on family, heritage, and history.
Graced by National Library Board (NLB) senior management Deputy CEO Catherine Lau and Director National Library Alicia Yeo, the well-attended programme began with a zupu and family history books donation ceremony, where important family records were formally handed to the National Library Board’s senior management for safekeeping.
This was followed by a heartfelt and personal presentation from photographer Charlie Lim on his “Faces of SG60: Portraits of a Nation” project, which documents the diversity of Singaporeans and their family stories. He had an engaging and entertaining talk that covered his experiences in the arts and heritage sector, as well as a showcase of the many faces of different Singaporeans he had engaged. His diverse group of Singaporeans in his portraits showcased the talents and knowledge of people from different races and families in Singapore.
The talk concluded with a live demonstration of Charlie’s artistic process, offering participants a closer look at how these portraits are created with live volunteers.
The afternoon provided an opportunity for meaningful exchanges on the value of preserving family records, the role of heritage in shaping identity, and the importance of passing history down to future generations.
