Canberra History Web

Please note that we do not undertake family history research as we (as do many institutions) prefer people to do their own. We also, literally, don't have the time for it!!

We do recommend the following - Links are available from our Links page:

National Library of Australia: http://www.nla.gov.au/

The Heraldry & Genealogy Society of Canberra: http://www.hagsoc.org.au/main/index.php

- this library is a storehouse for both Australian and Overseas material, including monumental inscriptions, journals exchanged with overseas & Australian societies, directories, local histories etc etc - and heaps of books written on particular families.

Email: hagsoc@hagsoc.org.au for research service [Fees: initial problem assessment: $11 to be forwarded with query; research: $33.00 per hour with a minimum fee of $16.50. The initial fee may be deducted in some circumstances]. Fees quoted are for non-members - if you join up, you get heaps of help from qualified researchers, not to mention free use of the library. Thoroughly recommended.
