galleries Historical Photograph Database
Local historians Barry Allwright and Geoff Purdie have compiled a database of photographs of Alice Springs, drawing on a number of private collections. The images on this page are just a few of the contents of the database. To view the index (ie, the list) of what the database contains, come to the Alice Springs Collection reading room. To obtain copies of images, contact Barry Allwright on 8952 1726; or email him on Barry.allwright@bigpond.com
If you have photographs, copies of which you think you might like to donate to the database, please contact Barry to discuss the donation guidelines he has developed.
