Broken Hill Outback Archives

The Broken Hill Outback Archives are temporarily closed to the public.

 

Outback Archives are relocating the collection to a temporary storage location whilst construction of the new Library/Archive facility is underway.

During this time we will continue to work on the Archive digitisation program.

The following organizations and resources are available to assist you with your enquiries during this period:
