Private professional researchers

The National Library does not undertake extensive and ongoing genealogical and historical research on behalf of clients.

To assist off-site clients who are unable to visit the Library in person, we have prepared a list of private professional researchers in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales who undertake this type of work for an agreed fee.

This list has been prepared as a community service and the National Library does not endorse any particular researcher.
