• Central Register of Indexing Projects in Australia – Judy Webster, Qld. The Central Register of Indexing Projects in Australia aims to prevent duplication, and to create a finding aid for those seeking indexes to help with their research. To prevent duplication, it is essential to have one central point where people register their projects. Records for one State are often indexed by someone living in a different State, so a single NATIONAL register is required. I have maintained such a register since 1986, and the project has the approval of the Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations. Participants include hundreds of genealogical and historical societies, record repositories, academic historians, and other individuals from all over Australia.
