Gosford District guides 1900s-1960s
Gosford City Library Local Studies Collection holds many early tourist guides, pamphlets etc. These original items were intended for short term use only, and surviving copies are often very rare and fragile.
It is with great pleasure that we present some of these resources to encourage local history research and study use by students and historians.
Establishing copyright ownership on these early guides can be very challenging, and where possible we have attempted to establish such ownership. If you feel that your copyright on a particular booklet may have been inadvertently infringed, please contact Gosford City Library. Please note that the attitudes expressed in these publications may reflect those found at the time of their creation.
