Hi Diana, Singleton Historical Society have a large collection of old photographs - [email protected] Cheers June at Singleton

Dianna. The NSW State Library has a lot of photos online. (Sorry I don't have the URL -- maybe others can provide it, or a google search might throw it up). I'd be very surprised if there are not LOTS of Singleton photos in their collections.

The National Library of Australia has search engine which will allow you to search a number of databases in one pass: http://www.pictureaustralia.org/ You may prefer to search just the picture collection the Mitchell and Dixson Library using the PicMan search engine (but don't ignore the possibility that a great photo may be now living in Victoria or one of the other States): http://www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/picman/ If you are not sure how to construct your search, use the Thesaurus to find the right term: http://www.picturethesaurus.gov.au/ There is a clearinghouse for museums at (such as the Newcastle Regional Museum): http://www.collectionsaustralia.net/ Newcastle University has a wide and interesting set of collections. Start at: http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/archives/ Newcastle City Council Library pictures might be found using: http://collections.ncc.nsw.gov.au/keemu/pages/nrm/index.htm You might find something held by the National Archives using: http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ResearcherScreen.asp Or cast your net wide using Google http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en Yahoo! http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/advanced?ei=UTF-8 Or see what is available on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/ Try using Patrick Plains / Patrick's Plains instead of Singleton. Or use some other heritage terms such as: Burdekin Park Munro Fountain Percy Hotel / Horse and Jockey / Rose Inn Caledonian Hotel Ewbank Mechanics Institute Lonsdale Geraldine and Wade Cottages Singleton became a shire in 1976 so try the previous names: Singleton Municipal Council Patrick Plains Shire Council Perhaps names of historic homesteads: Bebeah, Ardesier, Townhead, Greenwood, Hambledon Hill, Abbey Green, Flowerbank or Crail. Through in a few qualifiers like Georgian style / Victorian style / Boom style / Edwardian style / Federation style to narrow down your period. And, of course, you will want to respect copyright: http://www.copyright.org.au/publications/infosheets.htm#P Regards
