One of the particular strengths of our Library is the range and quality of the documents that we hold. In addition to the archives of various local families, we hold records of local mining companies and a variety of other types of manuscript material including letter books, antiquarian notes and papers, maps and plans and election material. There are, in addition, over one hundred boxes of unpublished notes on various subjects.
