SAG Webinars

The Society is delighted to announce a new member-only service – webinars! These online presentations will last about an hour and allow members who live away from Sydney and also those that are ‘time poor’ to participate in our education activities. You’ll find more information about webinars on our site here (www.sag.org.au/events/webinars.html).

Webinar - NSW Shipping Arrivals Online

Thursday 22 September (8.00pm - 9.00pm)

The days of your ancestors swimming to NSW seem to be over, with the bulk of 19th century shipping arrivals now searchable online, thanks largely to the work of State Records NSW and its commercial partner Ancestry. This session will look at why it is now easier than ever before to find an arrival into NSW up to 1922, but will also remind us of the problems that haven't been solved by mass digitisation and indexing. Presenter - Heather Garnsey. Bookings essential and limited to SAG members only. Price $10.00.
