Historical Details

A large collection of documents of many types has come in from centres that are either closed, or no longer function as a separate parish. We do not have the resources to individually catalogue each of the documents, but the contents of each box are listed, should research be needed.

This particular volume shows signs of extensive use in church services. It was likely recovered from the church building destroyed by fire in 1995, and vested with the Low Head Pilot Station Maritime Museum. In 2025, members of the All Saints Heritage and History Group became aware of this, and because we now have an archive centre, approached the Pilot Station Museum requesting that the volumes be returned to our archive centre, as they remain the property of the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania. The museum volunteers were very gracious in handing the volumes over.
