The Library’s Local Studies Collection is a special collection of historic and current material on all aspects of the Blacktown area.
It is held at the Max Webber Central library and access is available to all library customers free of charge.
Resources in the Local Studies collection are for use in the Library only and cannot be borrowed. Some duplicate copies may be held in the lending collection.
