Discover family and local history seminars

A quarterly program of seminars with South Australian and interstate experts brought to you by:

• State Library of South Australia
• Genealogy SA
• Unlock the Past

Upcoming seminars – click here

The seminars will be part of the program of all three sponsoring partners. They will generally be:

• held several times a year
• held at the State Library’s Hetzel Theatre, a central location convenient for public transport access and with good parking options nearby. On occasions they may be held at another venue
• a full day – though a two-day program may be offered occasionally

Each seminar will generally feature

• five main presentations by at least two invited speakers, mostly South Australian, but occasionally from interstate, or even overseas
• presentations by State Library and Genealogy SA speakers – to suit the seminar theme
• an extended 90-minute lunch break to allow opportunity (apart from eating lunch) to:
  – do one of the two tours of the State Library family history service (each limited to 20 people maximum)
  – do a bit of research in the library
  – relax between morning and afternoon programs
• two 20-minute Tours of the State Library family history service offered during the extended 90-minute lunch break. These will be offered at each quarterly seminar, so there will be opportunity again if you miss out the first time
• the option to bring your own lunch or buy from the Aroma Café within the library – or go off-site to nearby cafes
