We invite you to help us improve and grow the Biographical
Dictionary of Coorow, Carnamah and Three Springs as a research
volunteer. This can be done using online resources, repositories
such as libraries and archives, or your own recollections and
memories (if you knew a person or they are a family member).
Entries that we’d especially like more information for are marked with an asterisk and are listed on our Volunteer Research page. For some, we’d like specific pieces of missing information but for many it is open to whatever you know or can find.
The results of research can be submitted via the form on the person’s page or by e-mail to mail@carnamah.com.au – but we do require details on where or who the information is from so it can be accurately referenced.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an e-mail or contact us on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter. Our thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
