These lost writings of Moore are important documentation on the natives of the Perth area. Essential reading for all interested. This is another example of the SLWA non-system that lost both the original documents and has failed to index the information in its Clayton’s catalogue.

We do not subscribe to printing overseas. Localisation, not globalisation.
We believe that one must support the nation that breeds you and feeds you, both physically and spiritually.
Exporting our jobs is like exporting our raw minerals, it only benefits parasites.

Geological and mining library for sale.
My library of some 60 years of collecting must be disseminated to the wider world.
I can categorically state that this is the best privately held library in Australia of this material.
Such items will never come on the market again.
It covers many countries from America, north and south, Africa, Europe, Asia, and especially Australia. Much Australian material goes back to the 1850s, while the world wide items go back to the 1890s. Covers all aspects of geology and mineralogy. Much is general. Much is collectable.
With lighting installed in my new shed and raring to go, I am at present unpacking the mountain of cartons which have been stored for several decades.
The extent is too large to list. Perhaps if anyone has a specific interest in a country or subject they can query me. Offers accepted for the bulk collection.

The Pilbarra Society.
This organisation, based at Hesperian, has been set up to concentrate on Pilbara history, its places, people, and potential. The iron ore industry has dominated the area for many decades but the history of the area since the 1860s is little known.
The characters and incidents are as interesting as that of the better known Kimberley and goldfields. Station, mine and town histories are needed and the society hopes to bring together those who can contribute to the subject.
