Whitehorse Manningham Local History Database

A cooperative effort between Whitehorse Manningham Libraries and several local Historical Societies has produced a valuable and useful historical resource. Each local history society maintains its own archival collection. The Library  maintains a database of the combined collections with a catalogue and index which can be searched on-line. Access to each of the collections is thus made widely available. Copies of photographs of particular interest are provided to the Library and made available on-line.
