Legal Deposit: Preserve Your Research

Legal Deposit: Preserve Your Research

A common concern for family history researchers is ensuring their findings are retained for future generations once their research days are done. A solution could possibly be found via Legal Deposit.
Legal Deposit is the legal requirement that all works published in Australia must be retained by a State, and possibly the National, library. The goal is to preserve and maintain a lasting record of each State’s publishing history.
Legal deposit can include self-published material, in many formats if it meets certain criteria. “Publishing” can be as simple as donating a copy to your local Family History Society library or making it available for family members.
You can learn more about the eligibility requirements and everything else you need to know to decide if Legal Deposit is something you would like to pursue at this presentation.
