Need detailed dedicated research?

You can purchase research time by the hour. Research will be undertaked by a dedicated Centre volunteer on your behalf.

To request research, please follow these steps:

Step 1

Choose how many hours of research you would like us to undertake. If you are uncertain, please feel free to contact the History Centre for an estimate first.

Step 2

Add the hours to your shopping cart, proceed to the checkout, complete your details and make payment.

Next

You will receive a confirmation email which will include the details of your request.  Our library staff will review your request and make contact as necessary.

Ask first

It is advisable to ask the Centre first to find out if information is available. Use the $5 Lookup service to get details, before requesting copies.
