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 do recommend the following institutions & Societies - 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. Thoroughly recommended.

Email: hagsoc@hagsoc.org.au for research service.
