Ecclesiastical newspapers at the State Library of Queensland

Ecclesiastical newspapers can be a fantastic source of information for family historians. Articles about church run community events and commitee meetings frequently mention people by name - your ancestor may be among them. These newspapers may also include obituaries and wedding notices.

Some examples of religious newspapers held at the State Library of Queensland now available on microfilm
