Reference Library

The Museum has an extensive collection of historical books, documents, charts and plans, including ships, yachts, pearling luggers and marine structures, tracing many aspects of the maritime heritage of Queensland. These resources have been invaluable to maritime historians, yacht restorers and model makers. Our Research Officer regularly assists members of the public with shipping enquiries. Our photographic collection consists of approximately 15,000 images of ships, crew and passengers and is a valuable resource for research.
