https://www.familyhistoryconnections.org.au/The Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies (AIGS) was founded in 1973 by Don Grant and Peter Foard, who became the first President and Vice-President. The AIGS grew over the years, moving several times as the membership and resources increased. There is an extensive Resource Centre at Blackburn, where volunteer Resource Centre Assistants are available to assist members and visitors with their family research. In 2018, a new registered business name was launched - Family History Connections - to better reflect the work of the organsiation. During opening hours our resource centre is staffed by friendly volunteers, who are always ready to help where they can. Apart from our facilities, such as 2 film and fiche scanners, 18 computers, traditional microfilm readers, access to subscription databases and a large collection of resources, we also offer the following services.
