Project description: The ACT Heritage Library holds a large collection of images featuring people, places and events in Canberra and the region. Extensive collections have been donated by community groups, individuals and families as well as by government agencies, The Canberra Times and commercial photographers. These images document life in Canberra from the 1920s to date. The ACT Heritage Library makes its photographic collection available through its online database, Images ACT. An online exhibition, Reflections of Canberra, provides a sample of the Library's collection.
