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.
The various volumes in this item associated with St.Mary Magdalene Church were microfilmed in the 1970s and a copy forwarded to Tasmanian Archives and Heritage Office, and then vested with the Low Head Pilot Station Maritime Museum - a move of great foresight, given that the church building was destroyed by fire in the 1990s. 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.
Some other items had been handed to the Pilot Station Museum collection in 2019 at the time of the closure of St. Alban's Church, Pipers River.
