Articles and reports available here
[[../society/newsletter/index.html|Fremantle]], newsletter of the Fremantle Society, complete run from 1973-2014 (ceased publication) scanned by Garry Gillard for this website. All of these should also be available on the Society and/or Fremantle City Library websites.
(I have created a full set of PDFs of all of the newsletters and sent them to the History Librarian. He has not yet made them available. Perhaps because they are not up to the appropriate archival standard. I'm not a professional archivist, nor historian, so have no idea.
The Fremantle Society no longer has a website, so the newsletters cannot be put up on it.)
