Picture Coffs Harbour

Picture Coffs Harbour is a joint project of Coffs Harbour City Library and Coffs Harbour Regional Museum, and aims to improve access to historical pictures significant to the Coffs Harbour region.

Work commenced on the project in January 2008 and over a thousand records have been created to date, with team members still busy scanning and cataloguing the remainder of the photographic collection – totaling approximately 3,800 historical photographs altogether.

The images depict all aspects of life in the Coffs Harbour region from earliest settlement in the 1890s through to more contemporary pictures – displaying the area's growth and development over time. If a picture is worth a thousand words then this project tells an incredible story of Coffs Harbour!
