Local History Publications

The Lane Cove Library Local Studies Monograph series was funded with an initial seeding grant from Lane Cove Council in 1982. Profits from each publication are used to fund subsequent works.

The aim of the series is to promote research and writing on the local area by providing a means of publishing. The program also aims to make research materials on the municipality available to the many students and researchers working in the area.

The Library has published 31 books to date. Copies of publications are available for sale - contact the Library for further details.

All prices are inclusive of GST.
