Focus on Australian Records
While this course uses examples from Australian land records (1788 - 1900), many of the methods and insights provided can be adapted to researching land records in other jurisdictions. From understanding land tenure systems to interpreting historical maps and documents, the foundational techniques taught here are transferable and will equip you with skills applicable across diverse record collections.

This workshop introduces the foundational skills needed to uncover the land your ancestors lived on, understand historical land allocation systems, and interpret key documents like parish maps, grants, and deeds. With a mix of engaging case studies, hands-on exercises, and expert demonstrations, you’ll learn how to locate and analyze land records, trace property ownership, and connect these findings to your family history. Perfect for beginners or those looking to build confidence in land records research, this course equips you with the tools to uncover the places that shaped your ancestors' lives.
