Broken Hill Outback Archives
The Broken Hill Outback Archives are temporarily closed to the public.
Outback Archives are relocating the collection to a temporary storage location whilst construction of the new Library/Archive facility is underway.
During this time we will not be open to the public as we continue to work on the Archive digitisation program.
The following organizations and resources are available to assist you with your enquiries during this period:
