Genealogy SA
My local Genealogy Society. They
have an extensive library of books, microfiche and records
as well as helpful staff and volunteers. Without this

near as much as we have. Their website has recently been
updated with a range of new features and information.

War in Broken Hill (Picnic Train)
This is an interesting account of an attack on a train
load of people heading for a picnic out of Broken Hill

Picture
Australia
One problem a researcher will find is that although there
are many libraries and institutions with online databases,
you have to search them all individually. You also firstly
have to know they exist. This is where PictureAustralia
comes in VERY handy. This site links many library databases
together so you can search for an historical image from
all at once! Very impressive and has helped me find images
of people ships etc I had previously missed. |
