This meeting will be Online only. No daylight saving.

A zoom link will be sent to registered attendees the night before the meeting.

Join Kirsten Perris for this session looking at key State Library of Queensland resources and how to search effectively. Starting with the One Search catalogue, this section will cover basic and advanced searching and finding specific formats such as images.

We will then explore the range of newspapers available through State Library, navigating newspaper databases and looking at accessing newspapers that are not digitised.

Finally we will delve into the fascinating Colonial Secretary's Correspondence. State Library has digitised the correspondence from the microfilm collection and is progressively identifying and making individual letters available online. Discover how this collection contributes to family history and other research.
