Our Family History Research Centre & Library is located at:
2/379 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Our postal address is: 120 Kent Street, Millers Point NSW 2000
The SAG Family History Research Centre & Library is a community space where we connect with researchers in person and online. It is the heart of our research support service joining together our experienced volunteers and staff with members and the public.
Our collection is a treasure trove of resources for family historians and genealogists to learn from! Our dedicated family history library collection contains the Society’s print and electronic items which cover both Australian and international material (especially England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland). Our diverse collection includes BDM indexes, biographies, cemetery transcriptions, burial registers, local histories, parish registers, published family histories, shipping records and more!
We provide access to the major commercial sites such as Ancestry, FindMyPast, The Genealogist, MyHeritage, British Newspaper Archive, Discovery (National Archives UK), Biographical Database of Australia and much more. We also have more than 2,200 electronic databases covering both Australian and overseas topics.
We are also an 'affiliate library' of FamilySearch and have increased access to digital collections.
The Library is closed Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and public holidays. Please see below for variations to opening hours. Before visiting us:
