The Mt Lofty Districts Historical Society relies primarily on the donation of items for our archive from local residents, schools, businesses, government and clubs and sometimes from further afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small portion of our document archive in the Coventry Library<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately our limited space means that we cannot normally accept large physical items, (although we would like to see and photograph them), but we love to receive historical documents, letters, photographs, newspaper articles, slides, audio or film which relate to the local and garden history of the Mt Lofty District.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the only way that we can continue to build our collection and make it available to our community history researchers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In this section of Gateways we offer you a sample of some of the latest acquisitions, so that you can be tempted to visit the archive for yourself and explore our collection.
