Local History

If you enjoy local history, you will love visiting the History Room at Gympie Library. Learn about our heritage and memories, local street names, history pin, and the past in print. There is also a large collection of historical photos.

We welcome donations of old documents or photos you may have for our collection.

For support with research, to access specific resources or to discuss a query, please make an appointment with our Local History Officer by phone on 54810859 or email library@gympie.qld.gov.au.

Visit our Genealogy and Heritage page to learn more about family history.

Scanning Photographs/Slides/Negatives

Thanks to a Be Connected grant, you now have access to a flatbed scanner in the Local History Room. Bring along a USB, your photos/slides or negatives and make digital copies of them. You will need to have computer skills to operate a Windows laptop.
