The Hassall Family History Association fosters and disseminates research on the life and heritage of Rowland and Elizabeth Hassall and other members of the Hassall family and encourages historical research on other early settler families – particularly those with whom the Hassalls are related or with whom they share historic experience in early Australia. As well as organising events and publishing a regular newsletter, the research work is organised into the following major projects. Contact information about assisting with any of these projects can be found on the pages.
Transcription Project
A group of descendants meet on a regular basis to collaborate on transcribing the Hassall letters in the State Library.
