Thanks to Trevor Smith for permission to pass this on. Beryl List Admin > At Kiama Family History Centre we have Electoral Rolls on Microfiche for NSW for 1903, 1913, 1928, 1947 (for some other states as well ) 1991 and 1998 in alphabetical order for the whole of Australia. There is also an index telling you which electorate places are located. > > The centre is normally open 7 days a week ( Closed public holidays and will be closed 24/12 reopening 2/1 as the library will be "remodelled" by volunteers . > > We usually have at least 3 volunteers on any one day but the number of people coming seems to have dropped off over the last 9 mths. I think peopl think they can find everything on the internet. > We have almost 5000 items on our catalogue of resources. This includes everything from cemetery records to shipping reels to pioneer registers, St Catherines index, convict indents. etc. We have been purchasing approx $2000 worth every 3 months. The main source of income is from the sale of material we have indexed. We have some microfilm reels of early Tasmania which have been indexed by volunteers and put on CDs by Macbeth. We then do look ups from the reels if a person has found somebody on the index ( for a small fee). Currently we have volunteers indexing the shipping reels from 1901 to 1926 - but a long job. > > Remember - NOT ALL is available on the internet. > > Trevor in Albion Park NSW - a Volunteer at Kiama Family History Centre - 02 42 331122 Trevor also adds: That is fine. I am happy to do an odd look up providing that it is very specific - providing there are no customers when I am there - usually manage to do it. I hope to put a better list of information particularly around what we have for sale. The centre has a full time director, partially paid for by the local council and offset by research fees. Should someone need a quote to do research, they can contact Ray Thorburn at 02 42 331122 or [email protected] Cheers
