© Copyright Judy Webster. Updated 6 Sept 2006.

Indexes for genealogy in Australia and overseas

The book Specialist Indexes in Australia: a Genealogist's Guide is an index of indexes. It helps you to find indexes that are useful for historical research, especially genealogy, family history and local history.

Covers all parts of Australia plus some overseas areas.
Many unusual and neglected sources.
Many indexes are in private hands and accessible only by mail enquiry.
The book helps you to find indexes. It does not contain the indexes themselves.
Only the titles of the indexes are listed on this Web site. The books themselves give more information such as a description and contact address.
For changes of address since the 1998 edition, see the 2006 Supplement. It contains only amendments and new entries, so you may need both (1998 edition and Supplement).
