The National Library of Australia collects, protects and provides access to millions of physical items and billions of digital records about Australia and Australians. But did you know the library has a Family History Coordinator?
Join Leisa, the library’s family history coordinator for a family history-themed Zoom session aimed at helping us get the most from an online visit to the National Library of Australia. The session is for family historians of all experience levels.
Leisa will help us explore the hidden stories of our heritage. She will show us how to navigate the library’s website, what resources are available, how to make best use of the catalogue, share some Trove search techniques, explain the available services and more. Don’t miss it!
Our Tell Me About… sessions are short talks designed to give family history researchers a clear and engaging introduction to a specific topic. Whether you’re just starting out, returning to research after a break, or looking to broaden your existing knowledge, these sessions offer something for everyone.
Each session provides an overview rather than an in-depth workshop — enough to explain the “what”, “why” and “where to next”, and point you towards useful records, resources and further avenues of research. They’re ideal for sparking ideas, refreshing knowledge, and helping you decide what to explore in more detail. Look out for more Tell me About sessions coming soon.
