Treasures from Trove - 28 March 1925

The Sydney Morning Herald from 1942 to 1954 is digitised on the Trove site from the National Library of Australia. The KHS blog will, from time to time, post articles from  Trove , relating to the history of the Ku-ring-gai  area.

The articles on Trove are a valuable resource for local history and genealogy research.
