Vol 9 pt 8 contains a lists of Jewish businesses in Sydney and Melbourne last century. Lists of Jews who became insolvent in the19th Century depression also appear in vol 9. This century has brought new migrants to Australia. Sometimes these groups can be followed in newspaper and newsletters produced by various community groups such as Holocaust survivors, Dunera refugees. Books of Honour have been produced for both World Wars with lists of names and photographs.
All synagogues produce newsletters and annual reports, so do Jewish dayschools.
We hold as many as possible. Our library holds several family trees and books written on specific families. Australian Jewish history is continuing to be made all the time. It is important for families to preserve their precious records and to rescue documents which may be neglected or destroyed. Many family history groups exist which can provide valuable advice and several computer programmes for family research are available.
