Connecting people, culture and knowledge.
Be part of a professional library team providing access to Blacktown’s local history and genealogy collections. You help customers locate records, interpret historical information and navigate digital and print resources, making it easier for the community to research family history and understand the local area.
You manage and improve local history collections, including organising materials, maintaining digital records and supporting conservation. At the public desk, you respond to enquiries, resolve issues and guide customers through specialised resources. You deliver training sessions and support programs that promote local history services.
