Coming Genealogy & History Events

As you would expect, so many in person events have cancelled, which has seen the rise of online sessions - giving you access to more talks than ever before.

So to keep you up-to-date with what's coming up, we've compiled a list of the (Australian) online webinars along with other coming events that are coming up. So during this time of self-distancing and staying home, you can keep learning and enjoy talks from the comfort of your own home.
