A landmark gathering of minds converged in Melbourne at Easter 1977 to shape the future of family history research in the Southern Hemisphere — and Genealogy in a Changing Society stands as the definitive record of that pivotal moment. This volume chronicles the proceedings of the First Australasian Congress on Genealogy and Heraldry, presenting papers, lectures, workshops, and discussions that together map the full landscape of genealogical and heraldic study as it stood at a critical juncture in its development. From foundational methods for beginners to advanced techniques for seasoned researchers, the congress addressed all aspects of family history and resources, making this collection an authoritative reference for both practitioners and scholars. Published by the Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies Incorporated, this work represents a watershed moment in the formalisation of genealogical research as a discipline across Australia and the broader Australasian region. Edited by B. R. Blaze with the assistance of D. W. M. Grant, the volume preserves a rich cross-section of expert thought and institutional knowledge that continues to inform how researchers trace lineage, interpret heraldic records, and contextualise family histories within broader social change. For anyone serious about the history of genealogical practice in Australia, this congress record remains an indispensable — and fascinating — primary source.
