There are a huge number of books on the history of the people and places of the Goldfields of Western Australia. Many are ‘author’ published so are done in smaller runs, others are published and distributed by museums or not for profit groups. I have always wanted to have one place where you could search for a book on a particular subject or place and find out if it was still in print and if so be able to purchase it all on one site.
I intend to set up just such a one stop online store . I would value your feedback on your thoughts. This will not be in competition to local shops but will cater for those who prefer either by location or preference to shop online.

My name is Moya Sharp, I live in Kalgoorlie Western Australia and have worked most of my adult life in the history/museum industry. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.

Hi Arlene I have heard of you from my friend Criena Fitzgerald and she told me all about you garden, what a fascinating project, you must have a great fondness for Gwalia. I went there recently as ‘Outback Family History’ as the town had hosted the ‘Tourism Road Show’ and we spent a lovely few dayas there. The weather was glorious and we were just looked after so well. It is indeed a lovely spot I can see why you love it so much. It was great to see they have received more funding to repair and restore more of the cottages. Thank you for your kind invitation to see your garden I would love to. Next time we are coming to Perth I will get in touch. Bye for now Moya
