The wonderful thing about the days before computers and the internet is that people wrote or typed things on paper. Paper is a physical medium, and a sensible community organisation like the Glebe Society took steps to make sure these papers were preserved.

For many years, the Glebe Society has had an archivist, Lyn Milton, who looks after 50 years-worth of the Society’s documents, and has ensured that they are now in the loving care of the City of Sydney archivists.

A selection of these interesting documents was displayed in three ‘flip-books’ that, when browsed, provided an insight into the minds of the Glebe Society’s early office-bearers.
