We have a wealth of easily accessible digitised Local Studies material. The oral history collection brings together interviews from Capturing Community Memories, Speaking of the Past and The Blue Gum Forest Oral History projects.
The photograph collection includes over 4,000 images held in the Blue Mountains Image Library and on Flickr. Local Studies Chronicles blog articles and Blue Mountains Fact Sheets are full text searchable and cover a variety of local topics. Blue Mountains Newspapers are held on Trove.
Our extensive physical collection of books, maps, newspapers, archives and photographs can be accessed by appointment at Springwood Library. By prior arrangement some items may be viewed at your library of choice. All Local Studies material is not for loan. When donating materials, please fill in the Local Studies Collection Deed of Gift Form.
