Event description

SPECIAL FAMILY HISTORY MONTH EVENT

Join us for a captivating talk where we delve into the timeless treasure trove of postcards and letters donated to the State Library.

These seemingly simple pieces of paper hold the power to unlock hidden stories, reveal intimate details of day-to-day life, and connect us to our ancestors in meaningful ways. Details of this nature are rarely seen in newspapers or published histories.

Come and hear how these personal correspondences can enrich your understanding of family history. Whether you're an avid genealogist or just beginning your journey into your family's past, this talk will provide invaluable insights and practical tips on using postcards and letters as tools for researching your family history.
