| Our
research department has a very large collection of
Local and District History. Marriage and baptismal
records of many local churches have been copied,
indexed and these are available for family history
research. We also have a comprehensive register of
burials in Stawell District Cemeteries for use in our
research. Many of our District Schools have been
indexed for easy reference. Since 1853, mining has been a significant part in Stawell's History. We have some information on those early pioneers in the gold fields, as well as individual files on many families which have been compiled as a result of research enquiries received over the years. We also have information concerning businesses, hotels and their licencees and stations. The Society has available a selection of Birth, Death and Marriage records for Victoria on micro fiche and CD Rom. We have many files which contain newspaper articles, certificates and other information and about 25,000 cards in our index. We welcome your enquiries.
