The Norfolk Island Museum and
Research Centre welcome historian Cathy Dunn and her ‘History Lovers Group’ to
the island this week. During this time
Cathy has offered to present her latest lecture on research techniques and
records for Norfolk Island 1788 -1814, a lecture that has been well received at
the Society
of Australian Genealogists this past week.
Cathy will take you on a
journey back to the first British Settlement of Norfolk Island, providing
insight into the archives and records that are available, where copies are kept
and what can be found online, a fantastic learning opportunity for budding
genealogists or history enthusiasts.
A professional family
historian, author, tour guide, heritage and public history consultant, a visit
to her website www.australianhistoryresearch.info will illustrate the breadth
of her knowledge. This period of Norfolk
Island’s history has been a study focus for Cathy for many years evidenced by
her many visits to the island, presentations and publications.
The lecture is presented at the Research Centre, No. 9 Quality Row,
Monday 7 November, 9am – 10.30am at a cost of $20 per person. Seats are limited so booking is
necessary. Contact the museum on 23788
to book your seat.
