Finding family stories
Highlights
- Uncover personal histories with expert guidance from Library staff, revealing the rich tapestry of your family's past.
- Engage in thought-provoking discussions during Family History Month, exploring ethics and challenges in family history research.
- Explore diverse resources like electoral rolls and convict records, enhancing your understanding of historical narratives.
- Connect with passionate librarians and archivists, discovering the stories that shape our community and its future.
Every day Library staff help visitors uncover the threads of their past — from the Indigenous Engagement branch’s work supporting First Nations family history research to the use of electoral rolls, manuscripts, maps and convict records. During Family History Month, join them for a conversation about the work in drawing together the threads of family history: the complex ethics, the practical challenges and the powerful stories of discovery that emerge along the way.
This event is part of a series of panel discussions exploring the role of libraries, the work of librarians, curators and archivists, and the stories behind collections. From influential women who shaped the Library to ongoing efforts to address gaps in collections, these conversations examine the challenges, achievements, responsibilities, and what the next 200 years could hold for the Library.
This event is held in partnership with Schwartz Media.
