This month for Twilight Talks, we will be hosting John Graham, President of the Ryerson Index. 

The Ryerson Index is a free index to death notices appearing in Australian newspapers. In this presentation, John will discuss how the index has changed to meet the challenges resulting from the mass closure of regional newspapers, and how they plan to stay useful and relevant in the future.

John has been actively involved in genealogy since starting to research his own family in 1975. He has written five books on aspects of local history of the area, and co-authored a sixth with his wife Joanne. From 1998 until 2005 John was head of the Sydney Dead Persons Society, during which time the DPS founded the Ryerson Index. He is currently President of Ryerson Index Inc.

Please note, this session will be recorded, and all registrants will recieve a link to the recording after the event.
