The expo that grew

Posted 15 Oct 2016

Australia has never had a national  history & genealogy expo or fair - until less than two weeks ago.

If you did not come to the Unlock the Past NSW Expo at Coffs Harbour (and could have) you missed something special – according to most of those who came.

Posted 3 Jan 2011

2011 is now upon us. We want to consolidate following a very busy and formative 2010 for Unlock the Past (UTP). In many ways we were pioneering with a number of new and innovative ventures. We have gained more experience, new skills, knowledge etc. to make 2011 better again.
