Celebrating the Australia Project

The Australia Project started in April 2014, with a number of enthusiastic and hardworking members, who paved the way for the project that we are today. We really appreciated them!

The Mission of the Australia Project is to focus on profiles of people who lived in Australia, specifically:

improving the quality of profiles of people who lived in Australia

increasing the number of Australian profiles on WikiTree.

The page tracks how we are progressing with that Mission since 2022.
