The following publications are available for sale from the Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society. Many have been written by our members and some have been published by us with the direct and indirect support of the City of Port Phillip (COPP).
One thing for sure, they all have something to say about The Borough. Copies can be purchased directly from us at our rooms at Port Melbourne Town Hall, 333 Bay St on Tuesdays (10am-1pm) or during office hours at the COPP Assist Desk, also at the Town Hall. If you are unable to visit us in Port Melbourne, we can supply publications via mail. Please add $3.50 for postage and handling within Australia. Cheques (in Australian Dollars) should be made out to Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society and forwarded to us at PO Box 552, Port Melbourne 3207. Don't forget to tell us which publication you are purchasing. For multiple purchases and overseas buyers, please contact us to determine postage costs which are often less expensive when several items are combined in a single parcel. |
