Busselton Public Libraries

The local Studies Collection within the Busselton Public Library is a vital stop for anyone investigating Busselton's history. Council minutes, ratebooks, historic maps, and collections of oral histories and photographs are some of the important items stored here in a new archive storage facility. A display area planned for the main entrance to the Busselton Public Library will bring interesting information and images from the collection into the public eye.
