Education & Research
Are you researching a place on the State Register of Heritage Places? If so, you can download lots of useful information from our online Places Database. The link to the Places Database is in the top right of your browser window. Our library is also available to you by appointment.
If the heritage place you are interested in is listed on a local heritage inventory, you may wish to contact the relevant local government for more information. Local historical societies, libraries and museums are also great resources.
If you are researching the history of your home, you might be interested to read the story on pages 10 and 11 of the August 2007 edition of Heritage Matters.
