About Us

 

The Local Studies and Family History collections are specialised reference collections which will help you discover the history, geography and legacy of Canterbury City. From the crisp pages of local newspapers and the glossy reels of microfilmed records to eBooks downloaded with the click of a button, these collections collect and collate fascinating details from Canterbury's rich and varied past.

 

Located at Campsie Library during opening hours, our physical collection is extensive. We are also progressively releasing collection content online. Additional archives, records and resources external to the library are listed on our growing Canterbury Collection Map.
