About Our Library

A GLIMPSE INTO
THE GENEALOGY SOCIETY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY INC

In 1981 a small group of about ten enthusiastic people interested in family history gathered with an aim to form an association, official registration followed and GSNT was born in late November 1981.

From the very beginning, we were involved in fundraising to purchase resources for our Library. We also recognized that there was next to nothing available for family historians wanting to know more about their Territory ancestors. So began our indexing projects.

At first, this small group met in the meeting room of the Darwin Family History Centre of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Membership increased and we were offered accommodation in Cavenagh Street Darwin. We stayed at this address for 34 years.
