Journeys and arrivals

The National Archives are holding an Open Day on 16th April as part of their "Shake your family tree" programs.
The Victorian Archives Centre has information in their vast collection about many Australian families – possibly your own.
Many Australians are descendants of migrants. Learn how to find records to your family's story of arriving and settling in Australia.
If members of your family migrated to Australia in the 20th century, served in the defence forces, or worked for, or had any other dealings with, the Australian Government, then the Archives are likely to have something to interest you.
The National Archives will be showcasing their new website of more than 20,000 photographs.
At the Open Day, you can take part in a range of free activities including talks, demonstrations, conservation clinics, seminars, workshops and introductory research training.
For Program details, to book seminars.
