Favourite photos from our local studies collection.

On Saturday the 10th of March the library is holding a presentation and discussion of some of the library's local studies photographic collection.


Come and find out which of Manly Library's 5000 photographs are the favourites of Local Studies Librarian, John MacRitchie. John will present his selections from recent acquisitions and talk about the stories behind the images. More than any other format, photographs take us to that strange place, the past.


There will also be a chance to have a private viewing of the Library's Heritage Festival exhibition of aerial photographs of Manly through the years. Will your house be in one of them?


This is a Manly Library Trust event. Cost for the presentation is $12 and refreshments will be served. For bookings please call the library on 9976 1722. If reception is unattended please leave a message with your name, number attending and contact details.
