 Family History Feast is a day of free information sessions for family history researchers at the State Library.It includes the annual Victorian Association of Family History Organisations (VAFHO) Don Grant Lecture.

• The Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

• The Public Record Office Victoria

• The National Archives of Australia (Victorian Office)
