In the Archives

Mr Anthony Kelly

We are excited to get into 2021 here in the Archives room, as a new year will bring new acquisitions and discoveries.

One such discovery was uncovered this week during the building work for the Performing Arts Centre. A bottle with the title Elliman's Embrocation. After doing some google work, we have learnt that this bottle is likely to have been made sometime between 1890 and 1905. This dates it prior to the De La Salle era and into the timeframe when the Patrician Brothers ran St Patricks College on the same site.

We are looking forward to the year ahead and we welcome back our volunteers Mrs Baker and Mrs Pigram.
