GSC Indexes

Genealogy Sunshine Coast has an ongoing indexing project to create better access to local records and resources held in our Resource Centre. 

Works indexed include many local Sunshine Coast histories, school centenary publications, biographies, family histories and in house records collected over more than 30 years.

A team of volunteers work throughout the week and from home to add thousands of names and references to our indexing project each year. 

Volunteers at Genealogy Sunshine Coast have been busy indexing many local history resources for more than 14 years at present. 

The thousands of hours involved in this work means that we have developed an extraordinary searchable index of more than 1.6 million documents and hundreds of books, thousands of newspaper clippings and created searchable scanned images of many original documents. 

We use a program called Copernic to search words within our digital files and can locate records within seconds. 

Genealogy Sunshine Coast has published a number of local history titles - GSC BOOK INDEXES in the list below is drawn from the indexes of those books. Items in bold refer to photo captions from the books.
