    Excellent introduction to family history resources in Australian Libraries and for the more experienced researcher a reminder to revisit many of these libraries as content is expanded and accessibility is increased. There’s always something new to learn.

The content was well-structured and easy to follow, and the presenters were knowledgeable and engaging. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that significantly enhanced my research skills.
