Founded by volunteers in 1973, and now with over 4,300 members, Genealogy SA is South Australia’s leading resource for genealogy and family history research and the largest family history society in Australia. The Society continually adds to its family history collection, dating back to settlement, through outreach programs to community groups and publications, digitising data and making it available online for both Society members and the general public. In addition to the online resources (now over 10 million records), the Society has an extensive collection of books, microfiche, Journals and other family history resources in the Library, located on Unley Road, Unley. Approximately 230 volunteers from all over Australia and the world continue to support the Society, by way of data scanning, transcribing and checking (both in the Library and from home), providing assistance to visitors who wish to access the resources in the Library, and through various administration and governance roles.
