09.01.2022 The Library is running a free online author talk on Thursday 24 September at 6.30pm. Grace Karskens will be talking about her new book "People of the River: Lost Worlds of Australia". The river is of course the Hawkesbury-Nepean and many of us have ancestors who settled along the shores. This book provides a fascinating in-depth look at the early history of the area.

03.01.2022 One of our members, Phil W., has recommended the Dutch/ Belgium Open Archives website. He says that it has been mentioned before at meetings, but he has recently been using it and has found it very useful for tracing some Dutch ancestors. The site even gives results in English. Does anyone else have a website which they have found particularly useful and want to share with other members? Please feel welcome to share in reply to this post. https://www.openarch.nl/
