Welcome

Council recognises the Traditional Owners of the lands of Hornsby Shire, the Darug and Guringai peoples, and pays respect to their Ancestors and Elders past and present and to their Heritage. We acknowledge and uphold their intrinsic connections and continuing relationships to Country. 

Please note that the names and images of deceased Indigenous people are contained within this collection.

Hornsby Shire Recollects is the interactive database for the Hornsby Shire Library Local History Collection as well as historical material belonging to community organisations and local history enthusiasts. It provides easy online access to a rich store of heritage material relating to Hornsby Shire, its people, and events.

By registering as a member (all that's required is an email address or Facebook account) you are also able to contribute your own knowledge and memories about the holdings, as well as create personal collections of your own.
