Great Southern's Finest

The Shire of Cranbrook Archives are housed within the Cranbrook Public Library in the Gillamii Centre and it a vital stop for anyone researching their family history. We collaborate with the Cranbrook Museum, a short walk from the Gillamii Centre. Photographs, transcribed oral family stories, documents, maps and memorabilia of specific major events in the Shires history since it became an independent local government in 1926, make up the collection.
