Did you know that the Central Library is the home of Swindon’s fantastic Local Studies collection?
We collect and preserve almost anything that’s ever been written or published about the Borough – including books, newspapers, maps, magazines, CDs, vinyl, postcards – and a HUGE collection of old Swindon photos from the 1850s to the present day. You can search thousands of these photographs on our online gallery: www.flickr.com/swindonlocal For more information please like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. |
