Local history goes online
The results of more than 20 years of collecting information on the history and heritage of the City of Gosnells area is now freely available from the comfort of your home.
The collection is an ideal source of information for those conducting research on the local area or local family histories.
The archive includes transcripts from interviews that tell the oral histories of the area. More than 20 of these tell narratives of the indigenous history of the City.
City of Gosnells Mayor Olwen Searle said that the collection of over 700 files is also of importance to younger generations learning about the City’s past.
“Grandparents and parents can share memories of what living in the City used to be like,” the Mayor said.
The collection will continue to be updated and added to, as new material is donated or researched.
The material can be accessed via the City’s library catalogue atwww.gosnells.wa.gov.au. Printed copies are also available to browse in the Local History Collection at the Gosnells Knowledge Centre in the Agonis Building.
Anyone wishing to share material with the public collection, or seeking more information, can contact the City’s Local History Librarian on 9398 2551.
