National and State Archives
The materials held by national and state archives date from European
settlement and include records of immigration and shipping, criminal
trials and prisons, business and land records, royal commissions and
boards of inquiry. Many of these organisations provide downloadable
fact sheets, teacher notes and selected documents on historical themes.
The majority also produce downloadable how-to guides on conducting
family and historical research within their archives. Database searches
can be conducted on-line, by phone, or in person at National Archives
of Australia reading rooms in any major city. The Victorian Archives
Centre reading room is operated jointly by the National Archives and
the Public Record Office of Victoria (PROV).

Libraries and JCLS Family History Centers
In addition to their print and periodical catalogues, Australian
national and state libraries provide online catalogues of their
extensive picture collections, one of the most comprehensive being the
museums, archives and library gateway, Picture Australia. Many
libraries provide face-to-face, printed and online support and
information for anyone conducting family and social history research.
Major libraries have indexes to civil registration of births, deaths
and marriages for all Australian states and territories as well as St
Catherine's House Index to Civil Registration in England and Wales from
1837 to 2000. Australian cemetery and immigration records, electoral
rolls and directories are also available, as well as access to the
Family Search databases compiled by the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (JCLS). Look also for histories of surnames, research
manuals and guides to primary sources held by many libraries.
Microfilms and microfiche can also be viewed at a JCLS Family History
Centre near you.

Registries of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDMs)
As of 2006, the New South Wales Registry of Births, Deaths and
Marriages has an online index of records, some dating back to the
1700s. Other states will follow. You can buy copies of these records
from the registrar of births, deaths and marriages in each state. Some
states enable you to order certificates online. BDM indexes are also
available on CD-ROM and microfiche at state and selected local
libraries, some state archives, genealogical societies and Family
History Centres run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(JCLS). Note that information pertaining to the death of an individual
may also be obtained from inquests, wills and newspaper indexes.

Museums
A number of museums have collections devoted either to Australia's
immigration story in its entirety or to aspects of migration to
Australia. National and some state galleries have migrant artists
represented in their collections. You can search these collections
online, where you will also find information about exhibitions on the
work of individual artists and on a range of themes relating to
migration. These institutions have well-stocked bookshops with
publications on migration history and the arts.
