In a move that will make history records available to more people in the community, Council's history services and collections have been relocated to Marrickville Library. The collections are now accessible for extended opening hours and at more locations, with book and ephemera collections specific to each area having been transferred to each of the four library branches. Council is also committed to developing its historical and heritage programs and collections, and is currently recruiting for key personnel to facilitate this.
