Guest Speaker Meeting

Speaker: Brianna Mifsud, Archivist with the Museums of History, New South Wales (MHNSW) State Archives
Topic: ‘Researching family history in the NSW State Archives Collection’
The NSW State Archives Collection documents the daily work of the NSW Government and its agencies from 1788 to today. This vast collection of records can be an invaluable resource for the family historian, from tracing the arrivals of early convict ancestors to uncovering family secrets within court and divorce records. This talk will highlight the various (and sometimes unexpected!) records held in the NSW State Archives Collection that you can use to unlock your family history and will outline how to get started searching the collection.
