"Unlocking Hidden Stories: Exploring the Noel Butlin Archives Centre for family history"
Did your ancestors work on the land, in a factory, or belong to a trade union? Their stories may be waiting to be discovered at the Noel Butlin Archives Centre.
Join Sarah as she tells us about the Noel Butlin Archives Centre, home to an extraordinary collection of business and labour records from across Australia, dating from the 1820s through to the early 21st century.
Discover a wealth of resources—staff records, union membership lists, photographs, maps, meeting minutes, and trade publications—that can bring ancestors’ occupations and daily lives into sharper focus.
Learn how to navigate this rich and often overlooked archive and uncover new leads that could transform your research. You may just find your ancestor’s story in places you never thought to look.
