Research Library

The Research Library is a space where researchers can visit to collaborate and work with trained professionals to get family history advice, training in research skills and use library reference services.

We are open - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 3pm.

The library also provides researchers with access to books, newspapers, maps, online databases and reports relating to Parramatta and the surrounding district. In addition it maintains a large back catalogue of microfilm, microfiche and provides free public computers.

If you want to contact one of our Research Team please send us a message through our online enquiry form.
