Family history

Want to trace your ancestors?

Visit the Family History and Local Studies Room at Campbelltown Library.

You can find Australian Births/Deaths/Marriages, Assisted Immigration Records, Unassisted Immigration Records, Cemetery and Burial records and more. These records can be found in our books, microfilm and microfiche collection.

We also have computers set aside for online Family History research including free use (within our libraries ) of the databases:

These databases can also be used at any of our branch libraries.

Please note: library staff can help with catalogue searches, finding books and other resources, and will show you how to use the various machines (microfilm readers, for instance), but unfortunately cannot do the research for you.

Research assistance

Our family history help service is coming back to Campbelltown Library.

Beginning Monday 11 August, our wonderful volunteers return to Campbelltown library's new premises at 147-157 Queen Street.

Family history assistance will be available Monday to Saturday from 10am - 12pm.

Useful websites

You might find it helpful to search our database covering various Australian historical newspapers from 1831 to 2000. It can be used at the library or from home with your Campbelltown Library card.
