Mount Gillen Motel, 1957 - Roger Crowe
Barry and Geoff are dedicated to retaining the town's visual history, which previously has been lost as people leave town or pass away. They anticipate donating further volumes of the index to the library as they have many more photographs to scan. They want to make the images available to anyone who wants to have a copy or use them, as long as the source is acknowledged. The index lists photographs taken by a number of people from early last century and has thumbnails of each image. People can look at the index in the Alice Springs Collection in the library; and will be able to contact Barry or Geoff for copies of the images.
For more information please contact Barry Allwright on 8952 1726; or email Barry.allwright@bigpond.com
