== | ==Historical Societies == | ||
Historical societies can be valuable sources of information about Australia. Similar societies exist in countries from which Australians emigrated and they often collect information about Australian immigrants. Some may have information about specific Australian individuals. Many societies have special collections of books and manuscript materials for Australia that may be difficult to find in libraries and archives. For more information see [[Australia Archives and Libraries]] | Historical societies can be valuable sources of information about Australia.
