The Society of Australian Genealogists is an education charity that has been supporting family historians since 1932. This support is grounded in education and training, with materials from our unique collection which can be viewed in Sydney and when possible accessed online.

We welcome enthusiastic amateurs alongside professional genealogists, sharing a passion for family history.

Study with us online or support us with a donation or bequest to allow us to continue our work.

The Society acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and celebrates the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.

Our Family History Research Centre & Library is at 2/379 Kent Street Sydney. This is on the western side of Kent Street between King and Market Streets, and slightly closer to Town Hall than Wynyard station.  

The Library is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the first and third Saturday of each month, from 10am to 4pm (Jan & Dec differ).

Our Archives are at Richmond Villa, 120 Kent Street, Millers Point. This is at the northern (The Rocks) end of Kent Street just past the approaches to the Harbour Bridge and adjacent to Observatory Hill.  

Currently, Richmond Villa is closed. 

See here for Dec 2024 & Jan 2025 hours.
