Western Australian Bibliography

As the website has developed, an extensive number of publications have been identified. One of the single largest sources was the library of Dr Richard Hartley. Items donated by Mrs Pat Hartley to Engineers Australia plus other donated items were available for reference in the Boardroom at the WA Division office at 712 Murray Street, West Perth. In 2023 the WA Division office was moved to Allendale Square with no provision for a library. The library items were then dispersed to EHWA volunteers, the RWAHS Library and for unwanted items, to the RWAHS annual book sale. All items that were in the WA Division Library are included in the Bibliography below.

Where possible, for material which is out of copyright or for which approval has been granted, the Bibliography includes a link to a digital version which is available for download.
