SAG

Society of Australian Genealogists – Supporting family historians since 1932

Established in 1932, the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG) is Australia’s oldest family history society. We have specialty collections in Australian records, and we help people trace their family history from the next suburb to the farthest corner of the globe. Wherever your story begins, you will find courses and community waiting for you.

Educational Programs

SAG offers a wide range of online educational opportunities for all skill levels. You can pursue a Certificate in Genealogical Research or the advanced Diploma in Family Historical Studies, both designed to refine your research and analysis skills. The Society’s Family History Studies Program provides foundational training in genealogy, while a dedicated DNA Program offers in-depth guidance in genetic genealogy. To keep pace with technology, our Digital Skills courses help family historians master online research tools.

Community & Events

Beyond its courses, SAG hosts virtual conferences and an active calendar of online events, including lectures, workshops and special interest group meetings. Dozens of special interest groups (from regional heritage circles to DNA and tech-focused groups) help connect members. From first-time family historians to professional researchers, SAG offers invaluable resources, education, and a welcoming community for all.
