The National Archives has information in its vast collection on many Australian families. It may even have something about your own. If family members migrated here in the 20th century, if relatives served in the defence forces, or if they had worked for or had any other dealings with the Commonwealth government, we’re likely to have something to interest you.

The day offers talks, preservation workshops, demonstrations and introductory research training. With expert family historians on hand, visitors may be lucky and find family treasures such as letters, photographs, service records, immigration and citizenship applications, employment records, copyright registrations and other government records.

So shake your family tree and dig up your roots.

His drawings of profound empathy and sympathy remain a unique record of the Western Front experience. Dyson was also a talented writer, a scintillating humourist and an arresting speaker.
