| The Society has a number of maps, early
sub-division plans and aerial photographs of the
district. Many of the streets in theWaveley area
originate from our early pioneers while the name Waverley
and some particular streets relate back to Walter Scott's
Waverley novels. You can search the origin of
street names in the Waverley area by accessing our
on-line database. (If you can add to the information we
would welcome your contributions).

| We are most grateful to the city of Monash for
providing the accommodation for our collection. |
