Research Services
We are always happy to help with research related to rail in Australia. If you have a request about the railways, please contact the Curator and Business Manager.
As we are a fully self-funded, volunteer operated organisation we do charge for our services to assist us with our research, conservation and restoration work. Our initial research to locate information is free and we provide a quote before charges are made. Payments can be made by credit/debit card, cheque, by direct deposit, by Paypal or at the Bookshop.
For more information about our services and charges please download How The Museum Can Help You.
Railway Personnel Records
The Museum does not hold records relating to railway employees, we recommend that you contact the State Records of South Australia or the State Library of South Australia if you are looking for railway employee information. For a general overview on researching Australian railway employees please see the Railway Employees Leaflet.
