The Library is the home for the Genealogy SA collection of genealogy and family history information resources.
The Library is predominantly a reference library although some books are available for loan to members.
The Library holds the largest collection of family history information in South Australia and specialises in South Australian genealogical material. The Library Catalogue holds in excess of 30,000 items.
Whilst the collection specialises in South Australian information, there are comprehensive collections from other Australian States and Europe. See the Library Acquisitions Policy for details of how we intend to grow the collection..
The Library houses a number of comprehensive on-line databases. Computer facilities are available to access these databases. The Society also has on-line access for Library users to major subscription websites including Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage and The Genealogist.
The Library is well equipped with microfiche and microfilm readers, printers and photocopiers. There is a small charge for printing and photocopying. All Library users are subject to copyright requirements.
