Did you know the Ryerson Index offers FREE presentations to Family History Societies across Australia?

Whether your members are across town or across the country, we're happy to present via Zoom, making it easy for any Family History Society to learn more about the Ryerson Index, how it works, and how it can help with family history research.

This is particularly helpful in areas/states that don't have a member that can attend a meeting in person.

Our talks are informative, practical, and tailored to genealogy enthusiasts of all experience levels. We'd love the opportunity to join one of your society meetings.

If your Family History Society is interested in hosting a Ryerson Zoom Talk, please send us a message via Facebook or email [email protected] and we'll be happy to arrange a presentation.

We look forward to meeting more family historians from around Australia!

What’s new in Trove this month? A big handful of maps, newspapers, books and documents including the papers of former PM William ‘Billy’ Hughes. https://brnw.ch/21x6pGw

The National Library holds some interesting items that used to belong to Billy Hughes, including his false teeth. But you’ll have to pop around to Canberra to see those! 😬😬
