Volunteers

From its beginnings in 1979, Queensland Family History Society has been entirely volunteer-run.  The enthusiasm and dedication of its many volunteers over the years have created one of Australia’s leading genealogical societies.   You can help us as we continue to educate, inspire and connect people through family history.  The society’s wide range of activities ensures that there are many ways for volunteers to find their niche;  from very practical tasks to highly technical and research-oriented. Become a part of the QFHS community. You’ll discover others who‘ll welcome you and share your interests. The time you give to your volunteering is up to you. There are a number of roles and tasks that are perfect for working from home.
