Gestion des archives courantes et intermédiaires et politiques de collecte
As a general rule collecting is restricted to material connected to the local area. However, items of national or state significance are also accepted.
Bâtiments
The collections are housed in buildings erected in the 1970s, attached to a former store erected in the 1830s.
Fonds
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.
