Local studies

Wyong Shire's Tuggerah Library has a comprehensive collection of information relating to the local area and its surrounds. The collection includes books, pamphlets, serials, old photographs and newspapers, which can all be found in the Local Studies library collection.

This information looks at the history of the region including the growth and development of the area, geographical records, significant events, notable residents, photographs and much more. 

Any hard copy material is located at Tuggerah Library and can't be taken from the building. However, there is still plenty of information that can be accessed online.

Find out what's available in the Local Studies collection by searching the Wyong Shire library catalogue under the term 'Local Studies'.   Historic Newspapers Available at Tuggerah Library (42.00 KB) lists papers maintained in the Library and the resources listed on our Information of the history of Indigenous people of Wyong web page will also assist you with your research.
