FamilyHistoryWA (FHWA) relies on dedicated volunteers to undertake a wide range roles including our Management Committee, various Sub-Committees, Appointed Positions, our team of Library Assistants, and many others that are behind the scenes.
Without the ongoing assistance of all of our volunteers, the services and facilities provided to our members and the public, would be much poorer.
There are many opportunities for members to assist in the smooth running of FHWA, and help ensuring that we continue to provide our products and services.
Any member who would like to assist is encouraged to contact the Volunteer Co-ordinator, outlining the position of interest, by email to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
