Ryerson Index
An older but a goody! I would like to re-introduce The Ryerson Index as it approaches its 10th anniversary. It now boasts over two million entries. It is compiled and published online by the Sydney Dead Persons Society. The coverage now includes over 145 newspapers from all over mainland Australia. The index covers contemporary death notices and obituaries and is a great resource to use in conjunction with the historical indexes. Full entries of notices can be accessed from newspapers held at the State Library of Victoria
