Family History

Oral histories published by the Alexandrina Library Service

Our History Room Volunteers have conducted numerous 'Oral History' interviews with local personalities over many years. Hard copies of the transcripts are held in the Local History Room (Family History section) - a Reference (Not for Loan) copy and a 'For Loan' copy in most cases.

Electronic versions of these transcripts are available via our Alphabetical listing of interviews , however, these versions do not contain the photographs that may be attached to the paper copies.

Other Family Histories

When visitors use our Local History Room for assistance in completing their Family Histories, we encourage them to provide us with a copy of their research. Links to these Family Histories can be found here.
