Historic resources

There are many resources available to help you in researching local history. The Toowoomba City Library - local history collection is housed at 476 Ruthven Street. A key element is the Robinson Collection, named in memory of Queensland’s first female mayor and Mayor of Toowoomba from 1967 to 1981, Nellie E. Robinson. Many rare and valuable items were purchased from her generous bequest to the library.
