Our newest publication has arrived from the printers and is now ready to order. An up-to-date comprehensive coverage of the local history of Helensburgh and surrounding villages, the A4-sized book contains 72 glossy pages with over 180 photographs in black & white or full colour.
Along with a chapter on First Nations history by local author Kieran Tapsell, a number of our members have contributed to the book. This replaces the little booklet The First Hundred Years, produced for Helensburgh’s Centenary in 1984, and reprinted in 2009, which was nearly 40 years out of date.
Some of the chapters used the Historical Society’s extensive collection of local community newspapers as a source of information. The new book was edited by Society secretary Janet Lee, who also selected the photos to accompany the text.
Save on postage if you live locally and can pick up from Helensburgh (cash sales or bank deposit) or Stanwell Park (EFTPOS available).
