The OldPerth site has been fully functional since 13 October. Thanks to the team at SLWA for fixing the problem in the SLWA catalogue server.

FYI: The OldPerth website is currently non-functional due to a problem with the catalogue server at the State Library of Western Australia. SLWA staff are investigating the problem and working to find a solution.

The 1891 panorama from the Fremantle Town Hall shows a chicken/rooster at this same lot, and that's the inspiration for the mural! A story shared with me today at the WA State Heritage Conference. 😆

Have you seen the rooster mural at the end of Paddy Troy Mall in Fremantle? I found out today that this mural is there because of the Historical Panoramas project.

Kicking off day 2 of the State Heritage Conference with a plenary facilitated panel discussion on respectful recognition! #stateheritageconference2023

Can you help with a planned exhibition about Perth’s street photographers?
