The Bendigo Family History Group (AIGS) has a large collection of resources covering the Bendigo/Sandhurst district and the extensive Central Goldfields area of Victoria.
They also have access to all published BDM and shipping indexes, many interstate indexes and English GRO indexes.
Members have published many indexes they have compiled themselves, and they are working on many more.

The Bendigo Family History Group meets at 2.00pm on the third Saturday of the month (except for December) in the Large Meeting Room at the Goldfields Library, Hargreaves Street, Bendigo, Vic 3550.
