Lithgow & District Family History Society

Our local records

Listed below are some of the local records available for use at our library. In addition, we have numerous books, maps and photos pertaining to the local district, to NSW and to all other states of Australia. We have an extensive index card system as well as a large collection of family trees and journals and Members' Research Directories from other Family History Societies.
