The Images Page
Yes, it's finally happened! The CSU Regional Archives website has images on its Images Page!
Our idea is to showcase just a few of the marvellous photographs we hold here. To begin with, we have chosen three different subject areas - Education, Stations and Properties, and of course, Wagga Wagga Floods. The photographs have so far been drawn from a variety of collections, including The Wagga Wagga Teachers College, The Reg Sharpless Collection, and the NSW Department of Lands, to name a few.
Please visit our Images page and let us know what you think!

Tom Lennon Photograph Collection and Exhibition
Tom Lennon was a photographer for The Daily Advertiser during the 1950's and 60's, and his collection held at the Archives comprises of mostly black and white prints and negatives from that period, the official count being 80,000 negatives and 50,000 prints.
The collection is a wonderful visual record of the region's cultural history which greatly compliments our existing collections. The photographs have been indexed by subject and/or date and can be viewed in our Search Room.
The importance of the life and work of Tom Lennon will be celebrated in an exhibition to coincide with the 140 th anniversary of publication of The Daily Advertiser in October 2008. The exhibition will showcase the diverse interests and talents of Tom Lennon and provide a visual documentation of regional history of the 1950s and 1960s. This exhibition is being jointly organised by the CSU Regional Archives and the Museum of the Riverina. Dr. Nancy Blacklow from Charles Sturt University has agreed to curate the exhibition.
