 In 2007 Albury LibraryMuseum opened. Albury is a centrally located service centre on the NSW/Victoria border. The area is a railway, road transportation and tourism hub. The LibraryMuseum is an integrated community facility which was designed by Ashton Raggett McDougal architects. Aspects of the design were a bit controversial when built. This was an ultra-modern building in the heritage flavoured CBD which had somewhat resisted architectural change to that point. The “X” façade at the Kiewa Street entrance is strikingly modern. Colours used in the building reflect colours in the local environment. In 2007 Albury LibraryMuseum opened. Albury is a centrally located service centre on the NSW/Victoria border.

 The Bhutanese Community Farm is a not-for-profit organisation. From 2008 the Bhutanese Community in Albury-Wodonga grew. Many Bhutanese who came to the area were formerly farmers in their home country. They needed to find connection again to the land within 6-8 months of arrival. A small community garden was started was started. A larger potential location was found on 3 acres of land in Lemke Road Wodonga. Planning commenced in 2013. Onsite work started 2015. A business plan will lead to a sustainable model for growth. The Bhutanese Community Farm is a not-for-profit organisation. From 2008 the Bhutanese Community in Albury-Wodonga grew.

 This is a social enterprise with lots of community partnerships. There were advisory group meetings in the beginning. Two members trained in organic farming methods. The farm started from scratch. Few tools, few resources. Partnerships essential to developing concept. Funds from other defunct agencies were donated and this greatly helped. The farm aims to preserve traditional farming methods and skills, connection to the land to promote health and wellbeing of Bhutanese community and local community members. Modern farming methods are also adopted to enhance employment skills. The Farm produces and supplies fresh vegetables to local businesses. There is a training and educational program. Workshops are held into organic food preparation and cooking. The farm provides employment opportunities for migrant and refugee community who have minimal English. Infrastructure has been developed through donations and grants. Contact info@parklands-alburywodonga.org.au This is a social enterprise with lots of community partnerships.

 The Bonegilla Collection in Albury LibraryMuseum manages objects linked to the site. Works onsite at Bonegilla are supported by Grants. Building restoration, site interpretation, heritage gardens to reflect the types of gardens planted by migrants. Visitors bring stories with them which it is hoped to record in conjunction with Albury LibraryMuseum. The Bonegilla collection consists of 2000 photos, documents, memoirs and items of memorabilia. These items provide evidence and insights into the lives of migrants in the Post WW2 era. The Bonegilla Collection complements and extends official resources available through NAA. An online federated search provides access to the Bonegilla Collection. Original items and later Bonegilla promotional materials are collected. Visitors to the Bonegilla site occasionally offer items for donation. Items are managed by Albury LibraryMuseum. A combined donation form collects information, acknowledges receipt and acts as a gift certificate. Charles Sturt University, AlburyCity Council, Wodonga Council and Bonegilla Migrant Experience have all collaborated to develop a Bonegilla 3D Virtual tour . working on sites means that tour guides are constantly learning. While many of the original migrants have now died, their children and grandchildren come to learn what they experienced. Objects and images bring stories to life. The Bonegilla Collection in Albury LibraryMuseum manages objects linked to the site. Works onsite at Bonegilla are supported by Grants.

 The Uiver a KLM airlines DC-2 airplane became famous when, as a passenger-carrying participant in the 1934 London to Melbourne Air Race, it was involved in an extraordinary emergency landing at Albury. Forced to land at night, the Albury community lit the airfield for the Uiver with numerous car headlights. The Uiver landed safely, and the story was known around the World. Owing to the original Albury landing a strong and enduring bond grew between Holland and Albury. Unfortunately, the original plane crashed in the area around what is now Modern Syria a year later. The Uiver a KLM airlines DC-2 airplane became famous when, as a passenger-carrying participant in the 1934 London to Melbourne Air Race, it was involved in an extraordinary emergency landing at Albury.

 Burraja is located on Gateway Island, Wodonga and was established in 2002. It is the result of partnerships between the indigenous community, Council, Albury LibraryMuseum, Government agencies and the Department of Education. Burraja was set up to train Aboriginal people in traditional knowledge skills and tourism. It seeks to give youth a better understanding of community and cultural services, to encourage youth connection to Country and to share cultural knowledge between elders and youth. Burraja is located on Gateway Island, Wodonga and was established in 2002.

 Elders reconnect to Country through fire management. Methods are taught through hands-on methods. Early records relating to firestick management were researched. Events were recorded to provide resources for future use. The Vision of the Cultural Centre is to create employment opportunities, preserve local knowledge, create an environment for succession and educate people about Aboriginal Culture. Elders reconnect to Country through fire management.

 Local History specialists carry a lot of information about the collection around in their heads. No one else can easily access it there. When that Librarian leaves the Organisation knowledge is often lost with them. How can other staff access this information? No one idea will help in all situations, but a brief record enrichment sheet can help to get at least some information onto the catalogue. Our record enrichment sheet (devised by our cataloguer Rebecca Jane Fairweather) is designed to facilitate sharing of information about local history items. It informs and greatly enhances catalogue records and unlocks the potential of “hidden” items. An example of a “hidden” item might be a badly named report which gives few clues to the useful content it contains. In our library an “Emergency Fire plan 1983/84” contained full staff and equipment lists (including vehicles), but the original catalogue record gave no indication of what it was about (no subject headings) or what useful information was inside. A record enrichment sheet was filled in by the Local History specialist for the cataloguer to base an enhanced catalogue record on. The benefits of using the record enrichment sheet (shown in the attached Powerpoint presentation) include the better sharing of specialist knowledge, improved access to collection content for staff and researchers, it is a relatively quick process that suits the Local History specialist and cataloguer, and the sheet could be easily adapted for other formats e.g. photographs, maps. Local History specialists carry a lot of information about the collection around in their heads.
