Welcome to the Society of Australian Genealogists

The SAG has been helping people trace family history for over 75 years. Located in the Sydney CBD, we have a world-class library and manuscript collection, much of which is unique. We run an active programme of lectures, workshops, seminars and tours, have a shop selling books,  charts and software and can give advice on all aspects of genealogy. We look forward to helping you uncover your family's history.

Direct Debit facilities

Direct debit facilities are available for the annual renewal of membership. If you would like to sign up to have your annual subscription debited from your nominated bank account or Visa or Mastercard please download the Direct Debit Agreement form here and return the completed form to us.

Funds will be debited from your account on the 20th of the month in which your subscription falls due (March, June, September or December) or on the next business day. This is a great way to 'set and forget' your subcription payment so that you don't have to annually send a payment to us, and also allows us to contain costs as we do not need to send you a renewal form.
