There is more to researching the history of Victorian land than rate books, parish plans and Torrens titles. Sometimes even these aren’t helpful and can be frustrating, especially if time is of the essence.

Sue Walter will share some of her tricks of the trade and knowledge gained from decades of experience in working in land history. Many of tools for research Victorian land history can be found from the comfort of your own home, some for free!

This is a hands-on workshop drawing on real examples, and by the end of the session we hope you will be able to expedite your projects and have expanded your research skills.

Attendees will be asked to complete a brief pre-session questionnaire to assist Susan provide a session that suits your level of experience and expertise. Wifi internet will be available but participants will need to bring their own laptop. Please contact PHA (Vic & Tas) if you have trouble accessing a laptop. Printed workshop notes will be provided on the day.

This is a PHA (Vic & Tas) members only Masterclass. It is worth 20 PD points.
