==Historical Societies ==


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