Edificios
The collections are housed in buildings erected in the 1970s, attached to a former store erected in the 1830s.
Fondos
The collection is comprised mostly of family and personal papers and business records. In addition there is a large collection of photographs, including negatives from the local newspaper. One collection (Annabella Boswell's Papers) is listed on the Australian Memory of the World Register.
