Welcome​​

Welcome to Heritage Noosa, an online collection of images, videos, interviews, documents, maps, and memorabilia held in the collections of the Noosa Library Service Heritage Library and other local heritage organisations. The site provides easy online access to a rich store of heritage material relating to the Noosa Shire region, its people, places and events, past and present.

The aim of the site is to continually grow and add to the Noosa Story. If you think something is incorrect or have additional information related to any of the items on the site, please register and login (by clicking the link in the top right corner) and add what you know.

We are always interested in new material to add to the collection, either as a loan of items to digitise or as a donation. Please contact us if you have images, videos or memorabilia to share.
