Residents researching the history of Wynnum, Manly and surrounding bayside communities can access assistance at the Wynnum-Manly Historical Society Resource Centre, which operates on weekday mornings at the Wynnum Community Centre.
The centre provides local research on Wynnum-Manly people, places and events. Its staff can assist with enquiries about the district’s history, making it a useful starting point for residents investigating local families, former places and community events.
The Resource Centre is open from 10:00 am to noon, Monday to Friday, in Room 1.08 of the Wynnum Community Centre at 5 Florence Street, Wynnum. The weekday opening pattern means the service is available across the working week, subject to any changes advised by the society.
People planning a visit may wish to identify the local-history question or topic they want to investigate before attending. The service is relevant to anyone seeking information about the area’s past, whether their interest concerns a person, a place or an event connected with Wynnum-Manly.
