Family History Research. Our friendly and experienced volunteers will help and guide you through our Australian and overseas resources
Founded in 1973 by Donald Grant (1932 - 2011) and Peter Foard (1938 - 2001), its first President and Vice-President, the AIGS has grown from strength to strength. There is now an extensive Library at Blackburn where volunteer Library Assistants are available to assist members and visitors with their family research.
There is an Area Group at Bendigo, which holds monthly meetings with invited speakers. In addition, Bendigo has its own library holdings and voluntary Library Assistants to assist members and visitors with their family history. http://www.bendigofamilyhistory.org
A variety of interest groups hold their own monthly meetings in the Library at Blackburn.
Since its inception, The Genealogist, the magazine of the AIGS, has been published every quarter.
An annual award for the best family history published in Australia known as the Alexander Henderson Award was created in 1973.
In memory of its founding President, The Don Grant Award for the best Australian historical biography with a family history focus was introduced in 2012
