REPORT - TOUR OF STATE LIBRARY ON TUESDAY 17th JUNE

Twelve trippers with tour guide Lyn Williams, explored the State Library computers, catalogues, newspaper files and the fascinating stacks underground. The Shakespeare room brought memories of school days and early history. Then librarian David Berry highlighted the resources of the Family History section taking trippers on a shelf by shelf tour and demonstrated the use of the databases now online. Very quickly all dispersed and research began.

If you missed this trip, try the online database search (just Google NSW State Library) and read their Getting Started information research guides. Topics included in the Getting Started series are births, deaths and marriages, convict, church records, cemetery records, shipping movements, NSW assisted and Unassisted passenger lists, manuscripts research, picture research, Australian Joint Copying Project and Electoral Rolls.

Copies of these have been placed in our our reference library in the State Library folder.
