Intro

Join Aboriginal History WA (AHWA), together with the State Library of WA Storylines team, for a free family history information session.

At the session you will learn about the many historical record collections and photographs held by these two agencies.

The AHWA team are research experts who help Aboriginal people get access to restricted WA Government records about themselves and their direct ancestors. These records, which span the period from 1886 to 1972, are closed to the public due to the personal and sensitive nature of the information.

Storylines is an Indigenous online archive managed and hosted by the State Library of Western Australia. It features more than 12,000 photos and materials that can assist you to find information about your family and provides a safe place to share materials about Aboriginal people from Western Australia.

At the end of the session you will have the option to complete a family history research form to request copies of your own family history records along with a researched family tree.
