Join us during National Family History Month for a fascinating session on uncovering family secrets through archival records.

We'll break down the differences between state and national collections and guide you on accessing National Archives records.

Using ABC's beloved gardening personality Peter Cundall as a case study, we’ll dive into immigration, military and surveillance records to reveal surprising family secrets hidden in the archives.

Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned researcher, this session will empower you to dig deeper into your family history!

This event is held in collaboration with Libraries Tasmania and with the consent of the Cundall family.
