This display of historic Burra photographs dating from 1850 to 1930s was opened by Nancy Pearce on Saturday,10th December 2005 and is housed in the Supper Room at the Burra Town Hall in Market Street. Nancy Pearce's great grandparents settled in Burra in 1848. The Pearce family were very good at retaining Burra photographs and Nancy has given many photographs to the Burra History Group for scanning and copying. The Burra Community Library and the Burra branch of the National Trust have also contributed many photographs along with several interested members of the community. There are hundreds of photographs of Burra and district on display many with descriptive captions. |
