Collection: Australian Records

Australia's genealogical records tell a uniquely compelling story — from convict transportation and colonial settlement to gold rush migration, immigration waves from Britain, Ireland, and beyond, and the rich records of Indigenous communities. Our Australian Records courses give you the skills to trace ancestors across all states and territories with confidence.

Australia's records are increasingly digitized and accessible online, but knowing which repositories hold what — and how to interpret what you find — makes all the difference. These courses cover convict records, colonial musters, birth, death and marriage registrations, electoral rolls, immigration records, and more.
