Railway Resource Centre (Australia)
- Railway Resource Centre (Australia)
The Railway Resource Centre (RRC) is a collection of material on Australian railways. It is managed by Australian Railway Historical Society New South Wales Division with the participation and support of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum. The collection houses the thousands of documents, books, periodicals, photographs and slides that the Society has acquired over many years. It is constantly being added to by deliberate acquisition, through donations and bequests from Society members and others.
A continuing project is being undertaken to digitise as much of the collection as possible and much is now available from the intranet terminals on site. The RRC is located at Singleton House (named in honour of Foundation Member Cyril Singleton) 67 Renwick Street, Redfern, NSW. The Public Reading Room, named in honour of another foundation member, Mal Park, is open every Tuesday and on the first four Saturdays of each month. Assistance is provided by volunteer Research Officers. This service is available to the general public for private research purposes only. Because of the limited time available on these days, all commercial requests, together with requests by the public for extensive research by the RRC, are only handled through a Research Services Facility. Because the collection contains much information that is not available from any other source, the RRC is able to provide research facilities for most general and commercial enquiries regarding Australia’s railways.
